We had visited Stephens Gap earlier in the day and a good friend from Nashville, Mike Bose was leading the trip. I am from Indiana so I was well versed on crawls stoops and lots of water. He said this was like an Indiana cave, I dont remember much but it was Mazie and wet and had some what Mike called crawls. Mikes idea of a crawl wasnt the same as mine, in Indiana we would call it walking passage! But it was a fun cave and we had a great time there! Thanks for stirring memories!
Funny thing I think the same year he lead us on a trip into Wolf River Cave in TN to the formation area seems to me was called the enchanted forest, not sure getting old here, lol. He told us there was one crawlway we would have to do. We were in the cave some time (over an hour) and I ask where is this crawl you mentioned? He replied we did that about 15 minutes ago. It was a stoop similar in height to the backbreaker in Sullivans Cave in Lawerence Co. Indiana. I could only think "wow, they have so much big cave down here that the stoops are called crawls". Again thanks for stirring memories!

You would have to bring that up
Yes, we saw the sign as we were getting back in our truck. If we did want to explore this cave we would seek the owner's permission.

If it's closed or posted, it probably should be on the list right?
