| No that is not the entrance I am thinking of or the guys name... But I would definitely say that if the same cave system! Is there an entrance there? |

No, I was just trying to match up a topo to Google maps and your description. So is there water flowing out of the cave? If so, id bet on Jones spring. If not some who gives a shit trivia I found is that Jones spring puts out 300,000 gallon of water a day and fulbright spring puts out 5,000,000. Jones spring was also a major source of spring water for Springfield.

| Well it is 100% dry and shows absolutely no signs of water. Its at the top of a hill so there might be water once you get further in. I would for sure say that is the cave. |

| Me and a friend went into this cave yesterday after asking the owner to let us in and it was very tight and we only made it a short distance before we couldnt even slide on our stomachs. It is not worth going into because it was muddy and full of animal crap. |

| I am not 100% sure this is the same cave you are talking about. The owners told me that MSU had a cave program and that they were able to map it 1.5 miles. |

| There is only one entrance to my knowledge. I was told that it went back 1.5 miles before it became inaccessible. |

| Well i just went in this cave at the correct coordinates and entered under the pool just as described and once we entered it got small and tight very fast. This may have been 1.5 miles long at one time but is now filled in and you can only make it in a few feet. |

| Yes, I was with him and saw it as well. The cave was very low and looked filled in. Very wet also because it went under the pool. |

| This blows... Two years ago it was as dry as it could get and it was easily walkable as far as I went(wasn't super far). So the owners didn't care? |

| Ya we asked the owner after some small talk he agreed but was very disappointing once we got in. |
