Has anyone here been to the Sinks of Gandy?

That looks really cool! Does it go all the way through to another entrance? Looks like a really fun place to explore, I'm jealous!

Where is this and what is its special claim to fame?

Yes it does. It goes about one and a half miles and then apparently comes out in two different exits on the other end. A couple friends and I plan on going all the way through some time soon.

Where is this and what is its special claim to fame?

Randolph County WV. It's claim to fame is that it's a cool cave.

Glad you explained it. To me it sounded like a place where you'd find Orcs - or they'd find you!

I did once have a riddle contest with a small, pale creature who seemed to be searching for something he called his "precious" there.

Pretty cool spot. I like going to caves, finding them and so forth. But I am not much for crawling around inside caves. I always have this vision of getting stuck trying to squeeze though a small hole and never getting back out. I wouldn't make much of a caver.

I was there many many years ago. I think its other claim to fame is that it was a Civil War hideout.
