Caving- anyone know this cave?

I’m trying to remember this cave my FFA club leader took us caving in back in the late 90s. I lived in the Rapid City when I was high school- about 1996-2001. Our natural resources class teacher teacher/ FFA club leader took us caving in some huge cavern. It was not “developed” at all really. No stairs, no guard rails. Just some random cavern. There was a rope hung at one part where you had to climb about 15 feet up to continue through the cave network. Some parts of the cavern were big enough to stand in, some places were so small you had to lie down and army crawl through. I tried looking it up online, but all I found was a bunch of developed or commercial caverns that are “family friendly”, which this one was not. I’m guessing it’s been long enough that the cavern could have been developed for wider public use since then. Looking online, I can see there are many caves in the Black Hills, so I don’t know if it’s even possible to figure out what cave I’m talking about from this description. Anyone have any leads?
