A Kentucky Cave

[nova treasure]

Here is a Cave that I went through a couple weeks ago. I Love exploring them and always wondering Who or What has used them over the years.

Didn't find anything in this paticular Cave but have found some interesting things in others in the area.

Reminds me of a cave I used to go to in Otter Creek Park. Beware the White Nose Fungus.

Kindest regards,

my brother and his friends explored a cave in Winchester
that Frank and Jesse James supposedly hid in at one time
and they found numerous civil war currency and coins.
Dont ask me what they did with all of it, but at the time
they all smoked lots of dope, so they either traded it for
weed or sold it to get weed.
Recently the county filled in the mouth of this cave, so
guess it'll never be fully explored.
Plus in the early 80s a pepsi cola truck was in a parking
space in downtown Winchester and it fell into a cave which
people suspect was part of the same cave sysyem mentioned
in my story above.

I have also been in a Cave on Otter Creek park, back in the 80's when i helped build the restaraunt that overlooks the river over there.

You guys are making me nostalgic for my youth. I grew up in Hikes Point in Louisville. I went in maybe a dozen different caves around town including one off Beargreass creek not far from home.
Then in college I was in a hard-core cavers group within TKE at UofL. Our main cave which we went to dozens of times was Clancey's Cave in Otter Creek State Park.

This poem perfectly describes Clancey's. Weird thing, I e-mailed the author and he didn't have the foggiest memory of the poem. If either of you guys went here, you might agree. Let's just say. if my mother had the slightest idea how intrense Clancey's was, she'd have killed me.

Thanks Kevin, Clancey Cave is the name of the cave I couldn't remember. I have never seen that poem, so that was pretty cool, Thanks for Sharing.

If walls could talk, I would think that many caves could share a many of fearing moments of people that has entered for the various reasons.

Sorry Rando. I haven't been to this forum in a bit and missed that. The White Nose Fungus is an epizootic that's killing millions upon millions of bats, sometimes wiping out entire colonies. It's spreading from the northeast and down throughout Appalachia. Bats of course are important nocturnal predators of insects and are highly undervalued. When caving, make sure that you sterilize your gear before and after each trip so that you don't unknowingly spread of the disease, even though bats themselves will be the deciding transmitter.

Kindest regards,
