Located in York County, Pennsylvania, Emig's cave is quite small compared to other caves in the area. The cave has one large chamber with a small passage that extends for several hundred feet but requires some maneuvering. Matt, Mike, and Mark all went into this cave for an evening. We got to the cave at about 9:00 P.M. and quickly began our explorations. Why nine, well its dark in the cave so who cares what it is like outside. The entrance requires you to slide on your back but after that, it opens up to a large and spacious chamber. The cave showed some signs of other abusing it, but not as bad as some caves. No graffiti existed, only a few pieces of garbage and a bag located at one point where someone had been trying to dig another passage. We had a great map of the cave which Mark provided that was made in the early 1960's during a survey of caves in the area. Enjoy the pics. |

This formation is known as the haystack, according to the map. The formation is very interesting because you can crawl under it and look up through it. An origional for this cave. |

This is Mike inside the cave, standing not far from the passage that heads down into another small room. If you look hard, you can see Matt in the rear near the Haystack which gives you a good idea of the size of the cave. |

This is Matt, avoiding the looming rock above his head. Unfortunately, we resulted to using flashlights in this cave as none of us had any gear available. It turned out fine. |

This is Mark(myself) in the cave. I was having the time of my life as I feel at home in any small space. It was a great trip to help end my month and a half internship in York, PA. I was happy it was over but not that my caving was. I miss the awesome caves of my hometown |
