Six Days in the Gorge, Pt. II, "The Cave"

Checking out the cave about a quarter mile from our campsite. This is the second in the series of what will be 14 segments documenting my camping trip in the Red River Gorge in Kentucky. Featuring the song "Greensleeves", by Bluegrass Alliance. I'm experimenting with the specifications for uploading videos on YouTube, hopefully will be able to turn out some better quality video.

Retired USFS Ranger Don Fig tells us that this place is officially called - - -

"Samson's Cave"

saying that a fellow named Samson used to live in the "vicinity" of the cave.

Thanks for the info!

Hey there, thanks for the friend request :)

I'm loving these first 2 videos of your camping trip, especially this one ;) I love caves and have explored quite a few around where i live in Spain, but this one looks extra cool what with the river running though it and it's tight passed way, definitely one i'd love to explore.

I've subscribed so I'll come back later and watch the rest of the series :)

Glad you are enjoying my videos. I've posted nine of the trip so far, should have about five "episodes' left. We go back into the cave for the last three videos.

Yes, I love this cave ive went in the other side and came out where you went in. Takes about 10 mins to get to the other side. It was a blast but not for the faint of heart

You can get all the way through this cave. Just climb up to the left there at the end and stick to the high route. gets a little sketchy, not for the faint of heart...

@cheyenne7337 It's on the Douglas trail. The Osborne Bend trail #240 starts at the same place as Douglas, may be one and the same, dunno. It's not far from Moonshiners arch and is on the way to Eagles Point buttress. If you go to the cave, you must go to Eagles point. There is steep a trail that starts at Moonshiners arch and leads to a rock outcrop. Eagles point can be viewed from that outcrop.
