I think I have a book on caves in one of those northeast states that may interest you, Vermont maybe...nope it's New Jersey, nevermind.
Which of the Carters did you get to see? I've done quite a bit of caving in Horn Hollow in the past and made one unauthorized, after-hours trip through Cascade via the "back door" Some of my very first vertical caves were the pits in Horn Hollow and along Tygarts.
I haven't done much down there in a long time, since all of the caves are now closed and I've partly grown out of my sneaky ways. Carter County is a nice place, I think, to be introduced to caving. Not so miserable that you hate it, and not so grand that it spoils "minor" caving in other areas.

Which end of the lovely Bay State are you residing in? If you're in the eastern half, you should hook up with the Boston Grotto folks. If you are out west, you may want to consider tagging along with the Central Connecticut Grotto on some of our trips. For some readily accessible caving in New York, not too far off of I-90 (Mass Pike become New York Thruway) check out the resources of our regional caving land trust the Northeastern Cave Conservancy http://www.necaveconservancy.org.
I'm the in the Northwest Corner of CT and get out on occasion myself.

(I believe that was the name), it was at the bottom of the valley, there was a pool of water right around and in front of the entrance that was chest-deep (and very cold that day in the fall) when I attempted about 3 years ago. I tried making my way into it but it was just too clogged up with tree branches and other organic debris that I gave up after starting to wonder if this was even a cave. I later learned the details of a tragic event where a 22 yr old guy lost his life in Boundary Cave.
