wc - no props by Gnomad 1, on FlickrWhippoorwill Cave
On the first day of 2019, approximately 3 years after this search began... it has come to an end. My good buddy and I were exploring the Mcllroy Management area, like we do every 1-2 months, looking for any signs of our prize. We would find springs and follow them back to the source to see if any of them led us to what we were looking for. I don't know how many hours I've spent out there walking around and on here researching but it all came together today. We were on the 5th or 6th spring (collectively) and I crested the little hill in front of the entrance and stopped dead in my tracks. I had memorized that view of the wet entrance and I knew exactly what it was the moment I saw it. I grabbed my phone to compare the picture with what I was looking at and sure enough, it was it. I can't explain the excitement I had after years of working to find it, it finally happened. On the first day of 2019, I found my prize. What a start to the new year.
I know there will be people asking for the coordinates but I will not be posting them or giving them away. I have spent a lot of time and hard work finding this cave and I value that search and discovery. BUT what I will do (and have always done on here) is trade the coordinates for coordinates to somewhere else (of high value) that you have spent time and effort to find. That way, we both win and we both don't give away our hard earned finds for nothing. I don't mean to be stingy but I think this helps keep the community close-knit and it ensures everyone trading coords is an active member and actively exploring.
Cheers to 2019
