Under Plowman's Floor

This is the story of a man who becomes devoted to cave exploration.  We follow him from his first cave trip underground through his metamorphosis into a master caver in charge of directing the exploration of one of the most demanding caves in the world.  In his fifties, driven by an obsessive passion, he begins solo caving.  Some thirty years after his first cave trip he reaches a goal that makes him into a legend.  Under Plowman's Floor provides an answer to the eternal question:  Why climb that mountain?  Why explore that cave?

Richard Watson was for more than twenty years a member of a small group of cavers who lead the exploration of the Flint Mammoth Cave System in Kentucky, now the worlds longest as the result of their efforts.
