cave near campbell 16

Post by piplnr65656 »

Has anyone ever checked out the old little shed In the clump of trees with the big fence around it in the area between campbell 16 and campbell street. I was told it was an entrance into a drainage tunnel but I have never checked it out. It is very strange that there is a large fence around a little group of trees in the city.

That's the WTFarm. There's no cave there, just an old farmhouse, but it is kind of set down in a sinkhole. There IS a small cave near the theater, however, over by Back Yard Burgers, in the little wooded area back behind there... I've been, but never inside. Underdog explored it once, I think. I've been meaning to, but I never really got around to it.

That whole area's part of a karst chain comprised of several caves and sinkholes, including the Erie St. Cave behind Wal-Mart.

I went down there trying to get a look at the cave entrance, and ended up finding a lot of possum sized rats.

Not too pretty.

i still always say that in my head as
the "what the f*ck!? farm"
I think something clever is supposed to go right here.
