Caves And Tunnels

[+c88m]

I've been looking for caches with a cave or tunnel . If you could put the link and name here it would be helpful . I'm looking for them here in the New England area but enjoy reading them from other areas all around the world .

[+Renegade Knight]

What area? For what purpose?

[+c88m]

In the New England area mostly MA . Just thought it would be cool to find caches like this .

... but enjoy reading them from other areas all around the world .

Here you are:

I am going to be placing a cave/stormdrain cache on Long Island, probably tomorrow =)

Doesn't have much of a tunnel, but it is a beautiful walk/mountain bike on mostly flat terrain: Granite Town Rail Trail

Journey to the center of the Earth Is an interesting Arizona virtual cache.. Edited January 17, 2005 by flgAZ

Here are two in mines in NJ that I know of:

 

This one is in an old iron mine that goes back about 75 feet into bedrock. It's a pretty large opening. I'm 6 feet tall and only have to duck slightly. You see a few bats and some really weird bugs -

A Mine is a Terrible Thing

 

This one is really cool. Its another old iron mine at the site of Thomas Edison's 1890's ironworks. It goes a couple of hundred feet into the side of the hill and is fairly narrow. You have to crawl on your hands and knees the entire way to the cache. Of course the cache is deep inside. I'm pretty claustrophobic, so I had a very hard time getting up the nerve to get this one, but I did -

Edison's Dark Rock Cache

[CacheNCarryMA]

Nobscot Breeder Cache is hidden in a spot more like a storm drain than a tunnel. There is a dry dam nearby by with some interesting history (see Ford's Folly cache)

[+MAG315]

Heres a good one in my area.

 

Cool Dip and a Cave

[Voncachstein]

Heres a cool one in NEPA. Its an old Railroad Tunnel a few hundred feet long and its in the mountain. Its 3 miles round trip and awesome in the snow.

 

The Gravity

 

Theres also this one. Its only been found once so far (by me) but the end is a sweet tunnel made by two huge rocks that goes down into a cliffside and comes out farther down it.

Try Project APE's Mission 9: Tunnel of Light.

 

I am going to do this this fall when I have to travel to Seattle.

Try Project APE's Mission 9: Tunnel of Light.

 

I am going to do this this fall when I have to travel to Seattle.

The best way to reach the Mission 9 is through the Snoqualmie Tunnel on the Iron Horse trail, but it's not in the tunnel itself. There is a cache in the middle of the tunnel, however, and the name says it all: Bloody Fingers, Dirty Diapers... . I had a lot of fun grabbing both (and some others) a week before the tunnel closed for winter. I highly suggest a cache visit in warmer months!

[+Crystal Sound]

Here is one, I particularly like... The cache is not IN the tunnel, but very close to it.

Splunk A-12

 

I grew up about seven miles west of that spot. My wife, kids, and I visited my parents for Christmas this year. I love taking my oldest kids (5 and 2 1/2 year old boys) exploring. I took them up to that very cave, but had no idea there was a geocache hidden there until about a week after Christmas. How disappointing. I couldn't even log a geocache of a cave I used to explore as a kid.

[+royta]

Pluto's Cave

Another one about 7 miles east of where I grew up. I've been to the end of this cave at least a dozen or so times.

 

Cave In

A mining shaft, not a cave. The Yreka area is full of old mining shafts. The high school mascott is the Miners! I've found a couple by accident while hiking. One had rails for carts in it even.

[+garri]

I placed the first torchlight cache in Spain, it is placed in an abandoned militar base with 2 km of underground tunnels, this cache is the first part of seriesPieza de Artilleria.

 

A very interesting cave caches placed on my area (Catalunya) are Cova d'Anes, Cova del Moro and Les Estunes.

 

Last summer i placed Pieza de Artilleria 2 and a third subterranean militar adventure will go on soon.

[+The Waldo's]

Another one in Mass its not in the tunnel but close.

I just posted a Tunnel Cache on Long Island. It will later on... be part of a long 1.5 mile underground excursion =) hehehehe Hopefully it will be approved =)

Don' t you want caching guest in your country to find your caches?

 

I don't know a single word in Spanish, except for cerveza

 

Not a single one of my own cashes are without instructions in English (and in Swedish also of course), because I want to welcome cachers from all over the world to my caches!

 

In my opinion it should be "compulsory" with english in the instruction and of course the native tounge too!

This thread was very interesting on the topic of caves, the appropriateness of hiding a cache in or near one.

[+The O Team]

Did this one In Idaho a couple of weeks ago - very cool-

 

Kuna Kave Kristmas Kache

 

First post in the forum for us. Did it work?

[+Delta-S]

Spelunkmite is in a cave which I assume to be a long-abandoned mine shaft. It's pretty tight (and VERY dark) by the time you get to the cache.

It's in California and the area has piles of mine tailings, but this small shaft was the only one that I could find - and only because of the geocache there.

[+Mr. Snazz]

We have an inside-of-cave cache out here in Oregon: EVAC

 

Located in Wind Cave, just off China Hat Road south of Bend, Or. Its closed seasonally due to brown bats. Some serious bouldering to get in to the cache, but its worth it. Very cool cave.

 

There are a lot of other caves in the area that aren't specifically marked maps. A friend and I used a combination of topographic maps, satelite photos, and good old fashioned hiking to locate four or five of them. Good times.

[+MisteryMe]

Check out the 95 Feet Under cache located in an used train tunnel near Truckee, California...

[+rockey_f_squirrell]

PROPOSING CAVE CACHE: Ava Cave, Southern IL - SEE MY AVATAR PICTURE!!! It has both an entrance and exit and is about a mile through. Even though it is mostly destroyed, it is quite an experience to go through.

 

First I need to see if anyone would be willing to practice CITO. This cave is open to anyone wanting to explore and on National Forest land. The sad thing is it has been ruined by local teenagers.

 

There is trash along the floor, and spraypaint on the walls, and all the stalactites and stalagmites have been broken off. If I can encourage the Park Ranger that a Cache, and Cachers practicing CITO would help it, at least for runoff water, I might have a good chance og getting permission granted to place a Geocache/letterbox in a cave.

 

So please let me know if I get this and post on the Cache site Practice CITO, would cachers be willing to help me out?

Check out these ones in the french speaking part of Belgium (Europe):

 

GCHR3A (a beautiful hidden cave behind a waterfall)

 

GCKCM2 (a long abandoned train tunnel)

 

have fun!

[+Menehune Man]

Aloha... I'm having fun myself reading about the various cave/tunnel caches. Here's one on Oahu Hawaii. "Secret Menehune Fishing Spot"-GCMFAC. It is actually a lava tube left behind after the flow long ago. Check out the gallery.

[+Scook]

Here's a great one right near downtown Cincinnati, Ohio.

 

RR2K#L

 

It's best done in a group. Any number of local cachers will be glad to join you in hunting it.

[+medic208]

Here's a great one in the mountains of NC (Hendersonville)

 

Troglodytic Visitation

 

Although it can be difficult to find the right road if you are not from the area, it's well worth the trip. This cache is owned by the same guy who helped create Tube Torcher.

[+NotThePainter]

I thinking of placing one (near Boston) that is in a very tall drainage tunnel. It is about 6 to 8 feet tall, 15 feet wide, with about 6 inches of rapidly running water on the floor. It drains into a local stream.

 

The question is, should I tell the cachers about the tunnel? My plan was to give the coordinates of the cache, not the entrance. Of course there'll be no signal at the location but I can easly measure it in feet and give the coordinates from the same spot above ground.

 

I had planned on making it a bit of challenge, the searchers would be above ground, very likely in the middle of a busy street but I would tell them on the cache page that the cache is not on the street and is in plain sight.

 

They'd have to sit and think and explore the terrain and eventually find the tunnel entrance.

 

Is this a good idea or a bad one?

Here's one in Florida:

good idea

 

maybe for a hint you could have something like "if you are having trouble, try looking about a half a mile southwest" or some such
