Teens Get Stuck In Cave, Are Freed After 10 Hours

Two teenagers exploring a popular underground cave were trapped for at least 10 hours after they got stuck in one of its narrow passages. Chris Hale was freed about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday from Nutty Putty Cave, located 120 feet below ground. His friend Chris Marrow was brought out a few hours later, sheriff's Lt. Ron Fernstedt said. Both 17-year-olds suffered minor abrasions.
