Cushman's Cave is a Dangerous Place BE WARNED

Here I am again almost THIRTY years ago, 'reporting' on this Arkansas cave and what's REALLY been found there. While a news reporter for an ABC TV affiliate, I enjoyed my frequent bouts of fluffy tales and nice 'video pieces' when hard news took a vacation. Despite the rumors of a lost civilization, the only thing I located were beercans, graffiti, and bat guano. My wife and I and several friends also explored this cave near Cushman and enjoyed the experience. Wonder if anyone recognizes Doug Harris holding the light, visible as a silouette? Beware, all caves are dangerous.

@ Bocaj77: I've heard the story. Of course, it's completely fictitious. The story doesn't even do a good job of describing the cave.

@marsbugs Just read a article about a exploration party back in the 1950's that explored a cave NW of Cushman and came across blue skinned people deep within the cave. Ever heard about this story? Is it this cave?

I frequently go caving here.  The video understates the amount of vandalism and graffiti in the cave, though.

I've been spelunking here. It's always a fun getaway. Nice post!
