No. I was thinking about Skagg's Cave after all. It just is a bit foggy in my mind how I got to it.
Doesn't Bretz mention cave pearls in his description of it?
Oh, my daughter graduated from WHS in 1990 so you likely did not know each other.
Next question: If you cross the river south/west of Waynesville and drive up the valley (this is opposite the R17 side) you can then walk up a pasture on the left. Maybe 500 yds in to the pasture there is a low rise on the left with a cave entrance with a large standing water pool in it. Cows frequent this place in the summer for all the usual reasons. Owls have been known to roost near the entrance and make a very loud noise when they are flying out.
In the back of the cave is a large room with nice formations, but getting there requires a long hands and knees crawl through meadering passage.
I visited it solo on a Xmas Day in 1973 or so. After about 30 min of crawling back and forth I came to a red & white lettered sign placed at face height that said: "How sweet it is!".
I laughed and turned around and went home.
Do you know the cave? It is also likely in Bretz.
