Chasing a Lost Cave in the Sequatchie Valley

Jason and I set out along a remote ridge in the Sequatchie Valley with one goal in mind, find a cave that shouldn’t exist.
The Sequatchie Valley stretches roughly 150 miles long and 3–5 miles wide, cutting through the Cumberland Plateau. It was formed by the erosion of the Sequatchie anticline, a long, narrow fold that shaped this unique landscape. Because of this geology, the ridges throughout the valley are typically riddled with caves. But not here along this 8-mile stretch of ridge where no caves have ever been documented, an odd and intriguing gap in an otherwise cave-rich region.
Recently, a landowner reached out to us about a possible lost cave on their property… one that hasn’t been seen or recorded by the caving community and is supposedly in this 8 mile stretch.
Using what we know about the geology of the valley, we decided to take a chance and go looking.
Could there really be a hidden cave in one of the only “empty” sections of the valley?
Or is there a reason this stretch has remained cave-free? Come along with us to find out and see what we discover on this ridge while looking for a long lost cave.
