Thanks for the compliments :D .. i wish I had a scanner to scan this , but here is a picture of a old postcard of Benton Park , it is a shot from inside the cave . The card reads "Grotto,Benton Park St Louis MO .. It is from the late 1800's or very early 1900's and a pic of the fountain circa 1919 .. Hope yall enjoy it :D

Just wanted to say , that they are working on fixing the lake in Benton Park . They are instaling a new concrete bottom with a new liner . Thankfully they are NOT going to fill in the cave , although he could'nt say what for sure they are doing to the sinkholes ,hmmm , the one looks like it has opened up some more :shock: ... Just a little update :D

yea it looks like they marked a certain part of the pond maybe not stable for the bulldozer and shit? but looks llike more did collapse with the hole
you think it would be worth trying to open up?
this might be the only chance we have to get in

I promise you lpfan, there isn't a ghost's chance of getting into the cave via that sinkhole.
