They are not rumors. I was the President of Rockreations until 2004, when it was taken over by someone else and eventually collapsed. I was responsible for all the exploration and mapping of the cave to date with the exception of the main trunk (1200 meters - Kirk -TCG) which was last mapped in 1976. We have been working on this since 1999 with the help of our own and some CASQUE friends as well as some NFG friends.
To date 8.3 km has been mapped and plenty more discovered, but not yet surveyed. This cave was underestimated greatly.
Anyone who has ventured into this cave will surely understand.
There was a lot of info kept quiet for years about this cave. I assure you of 2 things. 1. this cave is to date 8.3 km and will greatly exceed that mark.
2. that this has been surveyed and the data put to a 2D paper print map. Due to the polotics and landowner request, the map has not been released except to those who are close to our team and the landowners. Currently 15 copies exist.
Any questions? email me. Just putting rumors to rest.
