Burnsville Cove -- The Discovery and Exploration of the Butler Cave-Sinking Creek System -- BCCS: The Organization -- Exploration of the Outlet Caves -- The Discovery and Initial Exploration of the Chestnut Ridge Cave System -- The Bobcat Camps. This book highlights some of the most difficult and persistent exploration ever undertaken in the United States - in Burnsville Cove, a small limestone valley in west-central Virginia - while at the same time reviewing the scientific discoveries made in the area's 116 km of caves in the course of 50 years. Overall, the book offers a unique combination of exploration and science by a conservation organization specifically dedicated to the preservation and study of the caves. |
