Ed, I've found many references to an Alexanders Cave in the NSS News, a publication from the National Speleological Society. The references start in 1986 and continue on from there. This is in Miflin County, PA so I guess it's the right one. Now that I found the references, what info do you want? <G> In 1986, the Bald Eagle Grotto was formed in Williamsport, PA. "Our current project is to work with the owners to develop better protection from vandalism for Alexander Cave in Pennsylvania." Later in '86, a notice was published: "Ex-Commerical Cave Reopened Alexander Caverns, located in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, has been reopened to cavers by the Bald Eagle Grotto. People wishing to visit this cave should contact the Grotto and not bother the ownwers. The door is locked and the owners do not have a key. Even after all of the vandalism that has occurred in this cave, it still remains as one of the most beautiful caves in Pennsylvania." The rest of the article contains a contact that is out of date. Any help? Rich
