Beans Cave, Frederick County, Virginia
December 2015
Gate Type: BASIC
Privately-owned Beans Cave was gated because the owners were experiencing trespassing issues, an all-too-common problem these days. To maximize the flight space for bats, we did not install the gate at the restricted sinkhole entrance, but rather just inside, where the passage widened significantly. We could not have done this project without the help of all the caver volunteers who participated. All photos © Jim Kennedy except the first, © Wil Orndorff.
