Thank you. I've given it at a few of the historical society meetings, both Marion and Grundy Counties. Never thought about doing it for the assembly. That would be pretty awesome.
I remember going there on a tourist trip long long ago , probably during the last few years they were still operating the cave . It is a shame they closed down the operation and left it to join the ranks of former tour caves .
The history of the original family is interesting is just shows that money isn't everything there were a lot of tragedies in the family with depression and financial difficulties did you notice that after the husband died that the wife immediately wanted to get the hell out of there
Our kindergarten class went there back in the day. What is odd about this is, I was just taking pics of barns in the area that still have "See Wonder Cave" painted on them a couple days ago. There are 2 that I have found. I hate that it closed.
Solution Rift, I havent heard that name in a while. Ive been in it but never did the pulldown. You knew Charlie Smith? Spent quite a bit of time in Hermit Cave on his property and camped in his field.
Oh yes, we knew Charlie and still know his kids (Leann & Roy). We still do some caving over there on their property too, they are wonderful landowners and very caver friendly. Hermit is a fun one we will do on weeknights sometimes after work.
I live here & this is then1st time I've ever heard of it.
Excellent work!
Thank you!
You guys are awesomeness! 👏
Thank you 😊
Lost for Words on this post. Amazing!
Thank you Paul. Wonder Cave was such a special project for us.
Great job! You should give this lecture at the Assembly.

It's definitely a treasure for sure. Would love to know where the barns were that you saw. You can message me thru my blog at www.tagcaver.com
@@tag_caver I messaged you.

@@tag_caver we were doing Hermit about the time they found the extension off the end of the big room. Has anything new been found there since?
