Nestled deep in the heart of upstate New York lie many forgotten treasures, both man-made and natural. Among these are a vast series of limestone caves. There are several larger cave systems that have been publicized and funded for a safe, tour environment (for those not as into exploration). However, if you know where to search, or know someone that does, you might just be lucky enough to find your own little treasure, such as the one featured! This one is located in a small village just off highway 30. The possibilities are endless for these things; they go on for miles! However, be warned, you're going to need more than one flashlight for these...
Why do we explore? My personal reason is to find the ruins of a better, simpler time. Ruins tell stories that people never could. Walls, halls, and doorways speak volumes of their pasts. By covering these grounds and finding these ruins, I am allowing them to tell me their tales; By photographing them I preserve them forever, like books. The purpose is simple: To take a step into history, and go where few dare to go anymore in search of the memories and knowledge of a better time.
