On Wednesday August 17, 2005 Reno hardcore bands Bafabegiya and Disconnect played in Provo, UT with Parallax and Extraction Point. After the show Joe Ferguson (singer of Bafabegiya), Blake Donner (singer of Parallax), Ariel Singer (singer of Extraction Point), Jennifer Gilbraith (from Provo, UT), and Scott McDonald (from Provo, UT) decided to go swimming in this cave. When the other four ventured on through the underwater passageway to the other side of the cave, Joe stayed back and waited for them. Unfortunately none of the four made it back; according to the police all four drowned in an attempt to make it back out of the cave.
