Due to a total lack of sleep last night (love those storms) I have nothing prepared today and my brain is too tired to think of anything. So, I'm going to finish the mini series on caves. In Monroe Co, in 1922, the following caves were listed, said to be all north of Tompkinsville. A rock house in sandstone on the land of Dr. E. E. Palmer, 7 miles north of Tompkinsville. Stains on the ceiling, flint chips among the gravel. Only 2-4 feet space between the floor and the roof; goes back about 20 feet - very cramped space.No man could stand erect in here. McCreary Cave: a mile north of Dr. Palmer's. Entrance is 60-70 feet across and goes back a good hundred feet. Two branches then start. Has a strong spring. On one side a ledge, no human evidence found. Belcher Cave: 7 miles NW of Tompkinsville. Also known as Mill Cave because a gristmill near the foot of the hill below it is run by the outflowing stream. Entrance is high and wide; vault if fully 100 feet across each way. Bedrock is exposed in places and the earth is not more than 2 feet thick. Cave on John Black Tuley's land on Meshach Creek, 6 miles NE of Tompkinsville. Two human skeletons wee found in a small opening which is also called Bone Cave. The room is no more than 10 feet across, not in a position for human residence. Thought skeletons were Indian. but might have been used for temporary camping. That's it!
