Could we dynamite an opening so the rest of us can get in?
Any cave writings?............Like in China?............
New cave?.......Looks pretty old to me.........
I guarantee you that if ONE human bone is found in that cave the nearest Indian Reservation will claim it as their ancestor and forbid any further desecration of their ancient burial grounds..........
LOL!
LOL
Interesting, too, that they have an active search program looking for other caves. Wonder what things they look for? If it were me, I'd be flying overhead with a spectroscope, looking for telltale wisps of cave air.
I’m surprised the Indians didn’t find it........Thousands of years.....
“I’m surprised the Indians didn’t find it........Thousands of years.....”
This wasn’t the first time it was necessarily “discovered” Perhaps it was the first time it was discovered by somebody who cared.
Is it near Boyden Cavern?
“It will add to our knowledge,,,”
...unless you already know the difference between your ass and a hole in the ground, anyway.
Not sure. Same general area, of course. I think it’s exact location is still secret.
That made me laugh.
I saw an article recently that said California’s population is slated to hit 40 million people real soon... And we just found it.
They can live in the cave.........
There are some very pretty caves in King’s Canyon. In my younger days I caved there a number of times with a group affiliated with the National Speleological Society.
It is true that a lot of California caves were known durnig the Gold Rush, but probably more have been found (or re-found) in the intervening years. Many have been dug open or, as you say, had very small entrances that had to be enlarged.
Your idea of flying over looking for cave air is very perceptive. One way new caves are found is by ridge-walking in the winter and looking for plumes of warmer cave air fog or for spots where the snow is melted for no apparent reason. Another way is by digging at likely spots to see what can be found. In many, many cases explorers spend long years searching and digging and digging some more before finding anything (usually small). A find like the one in the article is a once in a lifetime thing!

Actually, California's population hit 30 million long ago and will probably hit 40 million before the next election.
