During September 2007, Mike Rowe and crew went "down and dirty" to experience the challenges and rewards of travel along an underground river.
Partnering with American Cave Conservation Association staff and volunteers, the Dirty Jobs crew followed in the muddy footsteps of a cave biologist, a karsthydrologist and a cave survey team.
The week culminated with the cleanup of a local sinkhole that had become a dumping site for household appliances, discarded building materials and household trash.
Watch as Mike Rowe goes "on rope" at Hidden River Cave to welcome viewers to the amazing world of Kentucky's caves. Meet scientists and educators whose professions take them where they are often "down and dirty".
Scheduled air times for the Dirty Jobs Hidden River Cave story are January 22, 2008, at 8:00pm, January 23, 2008, at noon; and January 26, 2008 at 11:00amCT.
