Rescue At Devil's Den
Unlike Blanchard Springs, Devil's Den is really not modified to make it easy for tourist to explore. It is a more primitive cave experience. However, it is generally safe with relatively few problems being reported each year.
It looks like the main fear of rescuers, despite the 100 degree weather outside, was hypothermia. The temperature is below 50 degree inside the caves at night. It's reported that Calloway needed a hair dryer and blankets to keep her warm.
Crews had to drill holes in the rock throughout the Devil's Maze section of the cave to remove parts of the area that Calloway was stuck in with chisels and hammers. She was removed safely and will have no permanent effects from her adventure.
