Hard as it is to believe - Secret Caverns over in Cobleskill NY is place that just slipped through the cracks! A lesser know commercial enterprise than the nearby Howe Caverns, friend Gary was up for an adventure to the Empire State. We arrived at the entrance building a bit early and scouted around all the exhibits. At the appointed time we left through a rear entrance crossed a short distance to a set of stairs and covered walkway. Going down into a sinkhole that contained the original natural entrance, we made our way deep into the bowels of the Earth! Passing all sorts of nifty formations, often with illustrious names, the commercial accessible part of our adventure ended where a gigantic waterfall plunges from above. It is know this water exits into a whole other cave system and Secret may even have a connection with Howe Caverns itself!
After extracting ourselves from said Earthly bowels, we walked the grounds observing several various karst features. Lunch and a local gift shop followed. We ended up over at Howe Caverns but the wait for the cave tour was long so settled for just poking around the gift shop. Another satisfying day to get this one crossed off my list of places to visit!
