The Man Cave

Exiting the cave 

About 1/2 way through the cave

Some people seek to build a man cave we found a family cave.  Here in Duck Creek about 6 minutes from the cabin in the lava tubes is Mammoth lave tube Cave.  At the time we discovered the tube we were the only ones in the area and it felt deserted and beckoning us to come in.  With headlamps (much better than your phone flashlight) we explored through the tunnels and crawled out the 1.5 mile through the tube to sunlight. Looking for more information about the cave I stumbled across Adam Haycock's blog that gives extensive information and fabulous pictures.  Take a peek yourself at

After parking your car and walking up to the cave entrance you will almost be stepping into it before you realize you are on top of it.  It is flat to the ground with rocks and then this hole in the ground. Yep, that is where you crawl down. Almost like Alice in Wonderland falling down the rabbit hole.  Once inside the cave you will notice a metal gate closed for half the year to help protect the bat population.  Yes, inside is considered a bat sanctuary or nursery and consider yourself lucky if you get to see one.  There are many openings once inside the lava tube cave and exploring each one can be an entire days adventure.  Happy Caving!
