Wild caves in Pennsylvania

[SamAbear]

I am up here on a long vacation from Georgia, and am missing being underground, the caves are alot eaiser to find in Georgia bc of TAG (Tenessee, Alabama, and Georgia cave area). Iv found alot of show caves around here, but i cant seem to find any wild caves. Iv done some research trying to find some, but still cant exactly find any that i think are still open. If theirs anyone that could help me out with some locations of some, i would greatley appreciate it. Please and thank you.

Also if any one is down in the TAG area. Id gladly let yall know where a few caves are.

Yea Good luck with that.
there has to be some But this state seems to be in Baby sitting mode
seems when word reaches Authorities, &/or land owners,
entrances get sealed

Yeah. Most of the ones iv found researching were closed off, or on private property. :-(

Unfortunately we live in world of litigation and smart ass lawyers. landowners government and private landowner are increasing becoming open to litigation from people who do foolish things, and wants to blame some else for their actions. Sadly this has impact access to such sites.

New to the Treasure Net Forums.... I'm interested in finding out about Horst Cave in Lancaster, Pa..... Any websites that could help me? I can't seem to find a map with the cave located on it.

Although not in PA, per se, I remember there being some very cool caves (or at least one- that I caved- back in the late '70's) around the Harper's Ferry area, along the canal, but off the beaten track. I haven't been there since, so I can't tell you if it's been sealed up, but I bet local cavers would know. Yakker
