Enormous Cave Found Near Mount St Helens
A party of Portland men explored a colossal cave six to eight miles long and up to 40 feet in diameter, located about a mile from Cle Peteryor’s farm near Amboy at the Lewis River headwaters. The explorers followed a subterranean chamber two miles in, then emerged through a side break overlooking valleys. They ran low on provisions and sent a man back to Amboy for supplies while awaiting at Anderson’s house.
