We call this the voodoo cave...for a reason.There are some fun tunnels that mostly dead end if you cram yourself into them. Have fun we saw a lot of spiders and slugs in here at night :) The mud is slippery

Pretty awesome, easy cave. You can go pretty far into it. Its bigger than a room, you just have to climb up along the side to go deeper(when youre in the first room, face the ladder then look up to the left and thats where you go).

Bring a good flashlight! This is an absolute must if youre in the area. Wear clothes you can get dirty and grippy shoes, the floor is slick with mud. The opening is easy to miss. Enter at your own risk! The only way in is an old ladder thats at least 20ft down. Inside is one of the few places Ive been to where I could feel alone and free to do whatever. I went down with a group of friends, but found myself alone in one of the chambers. I turned off the light and couldnt see, hear, or smell anything at all. It was surreal!

From my subjective perspective,I made the mistake of expecting to do some serious spelunking because it’s a cave! But this cave, is literally, a cave, a small hole in the ground. This cave is the size of a small room. There’s nowhere to walk and explore, and the walls of the cave are covered with graffiti. Bumming.I guess I advise to not have any high expectations.

Went there by myself and expected a cave where you can walk in but its rather a descend through a small hole with a ladder. Bring good flashlights and at least another person. Didnt continue but on the right of the ladder is the path further down the cave.

Such a cool spot. Air was a bit stale at the very back, but got back very very far.

This place is called Empire Cave. when i went there i had this weird hallucination where I was fighting this terrifying masked man. He was about 7 feet tall he wore a long flowing cape. he had a helmet on which must have been giving him some issues cuz he was breathing really heavily. He also was holding this crazy glowing red energy sword almost like some sort of saber made of light. he advanced on me and we traded blows for a time until I finally got the better of him and was able to unmask him with my own laser sword. but then the craziest thing happened. my face was the face under his mask. I was really scared cuz the green geriatric dwarf i was hanging out with had directly told me no to go into this cave. Anyway I went back to his little tiny hut and the dude musta been pissed at me cuz he straight up disintegrated. seriously he just breathed real deep and then disappeared. I was spooked for sure. but before i left i took a human sized poo in his little toilet so someone would think he did it. 10/10 would do shrooms again
