Tenen & Tufts
On a November Saturday in 1974, cavers Gary Tenen (below) and Randy Tufts found themselves at
the edge of a sinkhole near the Whetstone Mountains of southern Arizona. They discovered a narrow
crack in the bottom of the sinkhole, following the source of warm, moist air toward what ended up
being more than 2.5 miles (4.0 km) of pristine cave passages. Today this is known as Kartchner
Caverns.
