cave i cant remember

Postby scdadd » Oct 25, 2012 2:40 pm

ok guys i am new here so here i go... back in the day i remember going to a cave in ga, i believe it was ear Smyrna, ga(within 50 or 60 miles) i do remember it was off a paved road or interstate maybe off of I-85 or hwy 19. it was maybe near south carolina. this cave had a opening that you could walk into and once in the cave( 200 feet??) there was an arch maybe. i do think it was labeled as a "beginners" cave. i think i could see my car from this cave. i can try to give more details if needed. does anybody know the name of this cave and where it is??

no i did not.. all i can remember was parking along the side of the road. then we had to climb up a mountain. once at the opening it was rocky and we had to crawl a bit, it was wet and muddy. we then could stand a little. once in it was huge inside. i dont believe it was howards waterfall but very much like it.

Howards Waterfall? Not near SC, but it is beginners and some of your other description matches.

You could try asking on the SCIG Facebook group. They know about all of the caves in SC, of which there are not many, and are generally short and not stable. Very little karst there.
