Thundercave, Montgomery County, Virginia

Gate Type: SEMI-CUPOLA

This privately-owned pit leads to a decent amount of passage with just a few bats. The landowner had liability concerns, so had us construct a gate over the entrance. We think it turned out quite well! All photos © Jim Kennedy.

Lydia welds the cave’s name above the removable bar while Jen checks a gap so see if it needs one more piece.
In case you were wondering, she couldn’t.
Lydia decided to add another piece just to be sure. It gives you a chance to see the gate from the inside.

Tom and his volunteers wait for Lydia to finish on this practically-completed gate. Looks great!
