Cave of the Chocolate Drop

This cave is on West Mountain. There are always several black widow spiders around the opening, and we also had a small rattle snake slither in the last time we were there. This cave is extremely tight and has a strong continual flow of air coming out of the entrance. Do not attempt this one unless you are skinny and ready to beat yourself up. The cave winds its way down a good 40 feet through several tight squeezes to a sloped dirt floor. In the bottom of the floor is a small hole that we were unable to squeeze through, but with some more digging that hole could be opened up larger and allow access to the rest of the cave. There was still an incredible flow of air at this point signifying a large cavern on the other side, or another entrance further down the mountain.

The tightest squeeze in the cave.
