Near Somerset, Ky

This picture shows part of the front room, looking toward Tom at the entrance.

A spring comes out of the back wall and drops off (about 9 ft.) into a lower level, and continues on back. I don't know how far. I went back only about 100 ft or so, the last time there. The passage got to where the floor split, and you have to straddle a wide gap. I intended to go back and check it out further, but never did.

Inside the front room, there is an opening on the left that allows access to the upper level, which is probably 15 to 20 ft above the water channel. You can't go far up there, that I know of, not walking anyway. Not sure if there are any crawl spaces or not.

These are some of the formations to be found up there.

These show some of what it looks like at the upper level. You can see down in the slot of the creek channel. David at the left.

The lower right photo of these four shows me at the end of the walking passage at the upper level, which isn't far from the beginning.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The left photo shows Tom at the drop in the front room, the beginning of the lower channel. That rope is about 2 inches thick. A small stream of water was flowing down on the left side of Tom.

The right one shows some of the lower passage. We found some interesting formations down there.

Seems like this was the best part of the formations that we encountered, and it is near the end of the easy walking part. Shortly beyond this, is where the floor splits, and stradling is required. The split floor slants inward on each side, along the part that I could see. It goes on back in there, no telling how far. I'll find out some time.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxBelow is a close-up of a formation in the lower tunnel.
