3 opens under maple tree in crater. Only about 15 ft. long and light looks
in at south end. No bats.
4 opens directly up hill from 3. Enter into large, high-ceilinged chamber. Another glory-hole opening and short deep shaft. Fairly dark but no bats.
5 Reached by walking up gulley between 3+4. About 100-150 feet long, straight, dry, partial cave-in at end. Has bats called North Tunnel.
6 Reached by following old road about 1/2 mile. Entrance boarded up with "Danger" sign. Forked, one fork blind about 75 feet, other fork with deep pool & reaches at least 100 feet. Has bats.
7 Have not seen yet. Described by horse-back rider who had just past it and had seen 2 bats flying at its entrance. He called it a "cave" because no mine dump was visible. Presumably it is easily reached from some bridle path or such along the bottom of the gulley.
8 Visible from road below the turn. Entrance boarded up. Haven't been in yet.
at 9:30 p.m. looked into North Tunnel hoping to find out whether or not q+q left young behind when they went out to feed. Cluster of adults + young was hugging at same place. One young < 1 week old was separated from cluster by about 1 inch but didn't stay to examine closer for fear of scaring all away. Caught 1 & Mystus gymna, and 1 more & Mystus evotus in East and West Tunnels at 10 p.m.
looked again in North Tunnel at 11 p.m. Cluster of adults and young still there. The young one seen before no longer separate.
