I say we find enough ATSers to get together and do a field trip. All these accounts of one or two people that 'disappear' would probably be
alleviated with a solid team of people exploring and recording, along with folks on the surface recording and transmitting data.
According to a news report on Youtube, two young men were lost inside the cave for days, about thirty years ago, supposedly searching for Civil War
treasure.
Other research indicate findings of arrowheads are common in the cave. What I would like to see is a directed effort in finding the crack in the
breakdown room. If it has been covered up or sealed in any way there should be ways to determine it as well. One poster here on ATS actually went
there and reported not finding anything. He posted photos of the breakdown room. However if the crevice was indeed sealed I don't think he would have
found it. I think he believed it would be easy to find if it was there. If you read the accounts, you'll see there is mention to the group deciding to
seal up the crevice because it had already caused much trouble. Well, the group consisted of twelve men, minus George Wight, who stayed behind, so
eleven men would have been able to move rocks to seal the entrance. This is what I believe was overlooked.
Also one must take the water into consideration. The ATS poster on the other thread mentioned that anything below that chamber should be filled with
water. I don't believe this assumption. The presence of water at that spot doesn't prevent the existence of empty chambers in a different spot. if you
read the description offered by the group, the breakdown room is between the entrance and the lake. This means there was already water present in the
cave back then, and that didn't keep them from finding the entrance to the Underground Empire.
