Grandpa's Cave

Grandpa's Cave could have been a very interesting hole until it was dug into by the local gravel pit company and destroyed.

This is looking at the original entrance. It is almost perfectly round and has a "Blowhole" type feeling to it.

This is the new entrance made by the mining company.

Looking up at the original entrance from within.

This is the back of the tunnel where the natural skylight is. This room is nearly 30 feet tall and 40 feet wide. We were unable to tell if this was a natural room that they broke into, or if it was completely man made. There were signs that this cave could have continued on from this point, but with the heavy excavating, any chances have been long since destroyed.
