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.

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.
