Twenty or twenty-one years ago some Texas cavers were in on exploring and mapping in this incredible Tennessee cave. Robert Hemperly, Don Morley, my son Brian, and I camped in Blue Springs Cave for several days way back in it. I recall one day while camped in there discovering and mapping over 8,000 feet of passage.
This cave was known for a couple hundred years as being about 400 feet long. Frat boys had partied in there and the vandalism was pretty awful. But the intriguing thing was a tight crawl at the end of it which blew air. Someone enlarged that, came to a crack in the floor that looked like it dropped down into walking passage, this was enlarged, and then something like 27 miles of cave was explored and mapped over the next couple of years. I was pleased to be part of it, even if only on two or three trips. Looking forward to TCR.
