Passageway links two cave systems
In Kentucky, explorers from Columbus and Cincinnati report linking Flint Ridge Cave, world’s largest with 87 miles, to Mammoth Cave via a 6000-foot passage. Pete Hanson’s initials carved in the canyon aided the discovery, made Aug 30 during a 21-tour exploration led by Dr. John Wilcox and a team including Patricia Crowther. The team emerged Sept 9 after an 18-hour trek through tight passages and water, confirming a link that could extend to 300 miles.
