Ancient Palace Cave????

[Monarch]

Anybody got any infor on this cave? Word I've heard is that it's still in
pristine state and remains predominately unexplored? Somewhere in Northern
California. Anybody know any of the history such as when it was found or by
whom?

I tried to email a confidential reply to this posting, but
"Mon...@butterfly.net" is not a valid address.

I don't think the caving community in Northern California is aware of
a cave by the name of "Ancient Palace". There are a lot of cavers in
this state, and they have poked into almost every nook and cranny.
With rare exceptions, unexplored and pristine caves are do not exist
in this area. None of those exceptions that I am aware of are named
"Ancient Palace".

I think that I may possibly know of the cave being referred to, but I
wouldn't care to discuss it any further in a public forum.

The best way to find out about the local caves is to get in touch with
an NSS group in the area.

How is it possible to tell that it is 'predominately unexplored'? ;]

I pity you fellows that can't take the time to go out and find you a few new
holes. You've wore yours out and now look what a mess your in. Perhaps you
can persuade some of the French to let you in their caves.

Because it is twice as dark in a cave at night, and we know that by measuring
it with an 18 inch yardstick.

The size of this cave makes it nearly impossible to explore and log based on
the ever present regulations of dear sweet Uncle Sam within the time
restraints to not disturb it's inhabitants
