derekmac Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Yeah, I'm probably going to be grounded for this weekend, at least from anything further than the Pipeline. When were you thinking about running it Rob? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightpath Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Watch Hayes Cave if you go inside this time of year, a lot of heaving has been going on and portions of it can collapse with all the fluctuations in temperature and rain. Where are the Maitland Caves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeep Freak Bill Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Its a awesome spot I been right to the end of the caves.Im told there is a way out but I never found it in my 5 times in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 You wouldn't get through it if you found it Bill ...it was tight for me to fit through 20 years ago... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUXterra Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 You wouldn't get through it if you found it Bill ...it was tight for me to fit through 20 years ago... :P Very true James. I barely fit through 20 years ago as well...I don't think I'd fit through today! Extremely vertical and a long drop if you slip. IIRC, it take about 45-50 minutes from the entrance to the exit, but the cave continues for about 15 minutes beyond the exit point. I have a friend who is an expert in bats and frequents the cave many times a year. I'll ask him for more info to see what things are like today.

TRUXterra Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 lol, I guess. He works for the AC (Agricultural college) and has been studying the white nose disease that is killing bats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would probably know a friend of mine's wife, who is doing her PHD studying bats... I guess she is the Batgirl... :P ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
