Rescuers found four cavers "cold & wet" but otherwise safe after they went missing on an overnight spelunking trip in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The four were found around 2 pm friday inside Rainbow Cave. They had left Maryville Tn. around 10 pm Thursday and had expected to return five hours later. It is not clear how they went missing. They were found 500 feet inside the cave and they were at the bottom of the third of three major vertical drops in the cave. The drops are basically waterfalls. Park spokesman said it might take until 10 pm friday to remove the men from where they were found.
