Cave (16)

Instruction:
Shade some cells to leave behind a single orthogonally-connected group - the cave - with no enclosed shaded cells. In other words, all shaded cells must be connected edge-wise by other shaded cells to an edge of the grid. All numbered cells must be a part of the cave, with each number indicating the total count of cells connected in line vertically and horizontally to the numbered cell including the cell itself.
