Sorry, I was a little "off" when I asked that. The restaurant I was talking about is owned by an insanely rich guy who is building a castle as his home someplace in the area, and he has pictures and blueprints in the restaurant. Also, there is definitely no cave at this place. That was just the Captain talking.Sertile wrote:Um... I don't recall there being a castle the last time I was there, but who knows? It's just up the hill from the Funnel Cake Factory.

Praying for me is like putting quarters in a coke machine that isn't plugged in.

RE: Caving Eureka Springs
The outdoor entrance to the catacombs is near this shop, but you have to go through private property to get there I'm afraid. The small cave in Basin Park is only a tight squeeze for the first three turns and then it opens up into a small chamber that some hobo lived in for a bit (small campfire in a bucket). The crawl tube keeps going after that, but I haven't advanced any farther yet.
I refuse to answer that question on the basis that I don't know the answer.

RE: Caving Eureka Springs
I'll have to check out the basin park cave sometime. I don't remember seeing it. Do you have to sneak in or is it open?

Define "open".

RE: Caving Eureka Springs
as in you can just walk or crawl in and no one says anything.

RE: Caving Eureka Springs
I've just always made sure that no one was around when I went in and hid my equipment bag in a nook. It could possible be illegal, but I'm ignorant on that point.

RE: Caving Eureka Springs
Good enough for me. As long as there isn't someone constantly watching it. Where is it exactly?

Re: Caving Eureka Springs
It really shouldn't be illegal. It's wide open, and it would be the easiest cave in the world to gate since it's just a hole in a rock wall about 2 ft wide. Just go to Basin Spring Park, go up the stairs to the little balcony, and there it is, right in the cliff face. It's impossible to miss if you're actually looking for it and have any cave sense to speak of.

RE: Caving Eureka Springs
Hey, regarding that "castle" near Eureka Springs that was mentioned...
Here's a link:
http://www.castleroguesmanor.com/castle-welcome.html
You can get there on the way to Holiday Island.
It's really cool looking, but I haven't been inside.
They rent it out for weddings and parties, etc.

Re: Caving Eureka Springs
My son and I walked up there last time we were down. As usual, he wanted to go "up there" and tried to climb the rock bluff. He almost got away from me to the point I couldn't reach him. His motto is "Excelsior!"
