Explorers Probe Bottomless Cave Near Harrodsburg
A party from Harrodsburg, including Bishop John M Key, travels toward a rumored bottomless pit on New Year’s Day. They reach a cave near the Boyle Mercer line, find a shallow chamber with perpendicular walls and a few stalactites, and abandon the search to return with plans to resume in dry season. They also explore a second cave near Nevada on Quick Run Pike, where a forty foot well and echoing chambers challenge them, leaving a possible lake deeper underground as yet unvisited.
