gross... could you tell where the sewage pipe was coming from? I am pretty sure that is illegal pretty much everywhere. I would notify the county code enforcement.

I grew up right above that cave. I've never been all the way through it but it's been said that you can go all the way to the french broad river. I've never seen sewage in it though. Will check out soon.
