I wanted to share an interesting cave for all you amateur spelunkers like me. the caves are located at the back of clarks reservation state park. i have attached a few pics. the graffiti is a bummer.

It is an interesting question how far men would retain their relative rank if they were divested of their clothes. -Thoreau

less than a mile. follow trails to back of park. i you can hear I481 getting louder you are on the right track. the caves are on the cliff edge directly above a trailer park. There are many cracks. the openings in the picture are the biggest. i only went down so far. climbing rope descends deeper but i was alone and didn't feel that adventurous or stupid! check it out.

Cool. Looks like a cave made from fallen chunks of limestone.
