The people that bought the property to have it cleared for a tourist attraction initially bought it along with our nieghbors property and home (which was leveled and turned in to a parking lot/picnic area) but they stated that our property wasn't overtop of any of the cave that would be used as the attraction. Fast forward to a decade ago and I began to help conduct tours and also have started doing research and have become very familiar with this cave system and now I can CLEARLY see what part they said wouldn't be used is in fact the entire main room of the show cave. If it were to be mapped I'm absolutely sure it would show this to be the case as I can tell by the layout of the land and while on a small portion of a bridge, you can even see the opening to which is on OUR property. There's water that runs through this opening which is why we can't just walk on in to the cave without being in 44 degree water up to our chins. We don't have thousands of dollars to give to an attorney for this but are saving up for one. In the meantime, is there anything else we can do and what rights DO we have? I know a little about real estate an it states that as a rule you own "sky high and hell deep" so do I have the right to walk in and use the cave? What about if I wanted to conduct further research and bring in other researchers or specialists to do their research? They found a mastadon tooth in the water under our property just last summer and instead of taking it to be looked about they gave it to their PIT BULL TO CHEW ON ! I damn near died and asked if I could have it instead and was shot down. That was the straw that broke the camels back. This place is going to cause loss of future information that could be obtained from the deep water that is in this cave and it's like a time capsule that is a hidden gem in my opinion. I have and so has the business owner, found many arrowheads and other artifacts in the creek bed that runs through the cave. Any suggestions about anything would be appreciated greatly and thank you ahead of time!
