This is a TN cave and the drop is over 100'. The sculpting is fairly unique.

No, not that deep. This one is usually dry but can be very wet.

No more guesses? OK, there is a small and old graveyard nearby. If that doesn't work, I'll start spelling it.

Not Cemetery. In TN, over 100' , not an entrance pit (but close). Hmm, except for the nearby cemetery, sounds like France Mountain Triple Pot. OK, one more hint - near Monterey.

I don't feel right tying up this thread any longer. This is Obe Lee Cave.

Somebody go ahead and post a photo. Nothing too obscure please.

Here's an excerpt from the original post in this topic, explaining how to play...

Rules/how to play:
- Post a photo and the state it was taken in
- People guess which cave the photo was taken in
- Person who guesses right posts the next photo
- - clues can be given if people are really not getting it
- - if the winner doesn't post a photo within 2 days, anyone can jump in and post a photo
- - while no one would know...it's kinda "cheating" to do an image search...check the image data to find location...etc
- - to keep it fun because we are so widespread, try to post photos you think people would have a chance of guessing. If it's a little cave you stumbled upon cliffwalking that no one really knows about...then no one is gonna be able to guess it obviously!

No guesses?

This is a gated cave on BLM land near Glenwood Springs.

Maybe the gate and access is the problem Derek. If no one can go there except for "privileged elitist" cavers, there may not be many people that recognize the cave. Perhaps you should provide a picture of a cave that "normal" cavers can visit.
