Falkville (Lacon) Al. cave mapping needed

Postby Kevenater » Dec 11, 2005 9:22 am

I found 3 small caves up in the Lacon,Al area a few years ago, I highly doubt they're on the survey. Doubt anybody else even knows of them. Does somebody want to come map them? they're all kinda tight to get into, then all open into very large dometype rooms(for the area), with waterfalls in two of the three caves. Pretty cool caves for around here, also there are a couple others i know of the may not be on survery also near Lacon.(Exit 318 on I-65) in Alabama. If anybody wants to check them out and map them let me know. I havent been caving in a couple of years but i'm about to start back soon. Somebody needs to come map these caves before i forget about them again. Thanks

Sure. Sounds like a neat area.

Care to send me your home number so I can call you?

Did these happen to be near an old quarry? Visited some there about 15 years ago maybe. Like Scott said, sounds interesting. I am also interested. Send me a PM if you like. I'm 20 min away
never stop imagining what could someday come to pass...

The 3 I'm specifically speakin of, aren't close to the quarry, but I do know the caves, you're talkin about. The railroad put a second track in the area so it's hard to get to one of them now, but you still can, just alot of walkin. Maybe all 3 of us can get together some weekend, My number is 256 339-7077. I work night shift and i'm off from fri. morning till sun. evening, so fri even or sat is the best time to get me. These 3 caves are pretty tight to get into!! Thanks for the replies.
