Saltpetre (Potassium nitrate) mine67 viewsWith the help of bat dung in the cave, dirt is put in bins like this and with water the minerals are leeched out forming saltpetre which is used in gunpowder. When it is all leeched out, fresh cave dirt is put in. This where the term "petered out" comes from.

Blue hole66 viewsOne of several, these pools appear blue normally when it hasn't recently rained. Swimming in them is dangerous though as they are connected to the underground river that runs under and through the cave with a swift current. This hole is rumored to be bottomless. A wagon went in here and disappeared horse and all. 3 civil war soldiers went in to save another who was swimming here and disappeared but they too disappeared or so the story goes.
