Wow dude you got it. Do you know if it's a cool cave? I assume it goes down to the lake near there. Do you know where I can find pictures of it????

That is a picture a friend gave me. I no longer have my TCS Book having moved away but perhaps someone on this forum will speak up about its length and depth.

How do you get to the ladder? What is the safety rope going to do without having any vertical equipment? But again how do you get to the ladder?

Right. My point exactly. Accident waiting to happen.

Could someone look through their TCS and give him the length and depth of the cave? It may satisfy his curiosity until he is able to safely get in there.

The rather old data I have shows it as 360ft long, 60ft deep, and the entrance pit is 21ft.

Finally got in after all this time, anyone want to see videos of the inside? It seems to have collapsed or something on one side pretty sad actually there's a lot of damage and trash down there I guess from the construction company and other idiots. It pretty much just goes down one passage then that turns into water and goes further it looks like, but we didn't go any further.

Kinda nasty but pretty interesting to see how all the trash down there (even deeper in the cave) is left pretty untouched except by the cave. And in the room where it turns into water there is a ton of this weird mold almost cushiony stuff covering the floor I've never seen anything like it.

If you wanna see the meh-quality videos in the cave let me know ill upload a YouTube video or something.

And the previous person in the thread explained to me that there were three different passages, very sad it collapsed so much.
