Comments: We entered the Culvert entrance and made our way to the lower
stream level. We made our way admiring all of the natural bridges
along the way. We ended up at the flowstone choke and some of us
did the short eardipper and explored a little beyond the bathub.
Name of Cave: Pine Hill
Nearest town: Mount Vernon, KY
Cavers: Johnny Shultheis, Candice Shultheis, Dustin, and others
Comments: We met up with Dustin just after arriving at KOR. Then
we geared up and drove to the cave. It was a really big entrance.
We made our way to the main stream level and headed toward the skylight
dome. We climbed up out of the stream to an upper level and headed
toward the 'birth canal". Once we were through the tubular belly
crawl, we saw the Skylight dome and made our way out.
Name of Cave: Goochland Cave
Nearest town: Mount Vernon, KY
Cavers: Johnny Shultheis, Candice Shultheis, and others
Comments: We met up with some of our other Hoosier Caving Buddies at
KOR. Then we followed them to the cave. The entrance was
very big, and it had a lot of cool air blowing out. When inside,
we made a right and then through a bat gate. A little longer we
encountered a big breakdown pile. Our group got split into two,
because some got turned around in the break down. So the rest of
our group went up and over. We did a 600 ft. hands and knees crawl
and made it to the miracle mile section. After a short time we
turned around to regroup with the other group and exited the cave.
Once out, we found a lot of the locals hanging out in lawn chairs
enjoying the cool cave air. It was like 90 degrees that day!!!
