    1. [SCKY] WARREN CO CAVES
    2. Sandi Gorin
    3. Warren County didn't have as many known caves in 1922. See previous posts on source. CRUMP'S CAVE: A mile north of Smiths Grove, is a large sink home, from one side of which extends a cave nearly a mile long. There is abundant room and a good light near the front, and it is reported that quantities of ashes were formerly to be seen on the earth a short distance in. A considerable outside area drains into the cave and the floor at the present time is everywhere so wet as to be quite muddy.The amount of flood water running into the cave is indicated by a gully 4 feet deep and the same in width while trash and driftwood litter the floor from wall to wall for more than a hundred yards. THOMAS CAVE: A mile north of Bowling Green. Roof has fallen in and forms a high mound of rocky debris, down which a path winds on each side giving access toward either end of the cave. Thought to never have been occupied. (by the Native Americans). MILL CAVE: Three miles south of Bowling Green a stream emerges from the foot of a slope, flows a hundred yards through a canyon-like channel, and disappears under a cliff. The open end is large and forms an excellent shelter for cattle. On either side of the stream, under the cliff, is a shelf or projecting ledge, covered with loose stones. Neither is 2 feet higher than the water level in wet season. A lot has changed over the years hasn't it? if you have more information on any of these caves (from any county we're covering) please post to the list! Next week we'll look at Barren Co and there are some I've never heard of! Sandi --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com
