I seem to recall going into a cave north of CWAN back in the day, maybe it was 
called Chimney Cave or something?  It was in a definite karst area (no soil) 
and had a ladder going down into the entrance pit.  Beyond the entrance room, 
it was a series of stoop walking passages with places to stand up here and 
there.  Anyways, I was told it went directly under the Guadalupe River near 
it's terminus, but I have no idea if that is true..  There were mostly SA folks 
(I can remember Ranzau being there as a mere high school senior just getting 
his feet wet in the caving world), Spencer Woods and Amanda and I.  Anyways, 
was this ever confirmed by a survey?

(I think I even took a video camera and recorded the cave from entrance to near 
the end, need to find that..)  I also remember coming out of the cave one night 
late and becoming COMPLETELY lost with fading lights and no batteries.  About 
the time we resolved to just sleep on the ground, we stumbled onto the trail.  
We slept good in the owners spare quarters with the heater that night.


 

Actually, there are a number of caves invarious places where you can walk or 
crawl under active flowing streams.  Blackhouse Mountain Cave in Tennessee is a 
great example asone of the passages in this multi-mile long cave goes 
completely under a flowingstream and has an entrance on both sides of the creek.
