Ape Cave

They simply exist on a different plane than most humans, and some of us are more sensitive to those vibrations they exist on.

Next up, we have the story of Ape Cave, which is near Ape Canyon.

In 1947, a logger by the name of Lawrence Johnson was driving along in his vehicle when a sinkhole swallowed his truck.

Thus, Ape Cave was discovered.

However, the cave wouldn't be explored until three years later by a Boy Scout troop.

Made up by lava flow, The cave had never been explored by anyone before the troops stepped inside after being lowered over a 17-foot overhang one by one.

yeah.

Just off a cursory glance of the area, do I notice if it's close to any caves I might know, like Ape Cave or anything like that?

You know, there may be some lava tubes nearby in that sort of general region.

All

Story number three.

Mount St. Helens Ape Cave Ape Cave in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest went unnoticed for about 2,000 years.

Then, in 1951, Larry Johnson of Amboy, Washington, was logging in the area when he discovered the entrance to the lava tube cave, which was at the time almost completely blocked with vegetation and timber growth.

Johnson then related the find to the Harry Reese family, and they investigated and explored what is now known as Ape Cave.

Why is it called Ape Cave? Well, Harry Reese was a scoutmaster of a boy scout troop called the Apes, so named because of their interest in the legend of Mount St.

Helens and its Native American tales of old Sasquatch.

Thus the cave they explored in those years was tagged Ape Cave, after the scout troop of that day.

Contrary to a published Bigfoot book, the 1924 Fred Beck story in Ape Canyon was not the motivation for the naming of the 1951 Ape Cave.

When asked why only certain people can see otherworldly beings, Beck had this to say.

the condition and vibration is at a certain frequency they the beings can easily for a time appear in a very solid body they are not animal spirits but also like the intelligence of a human consciousness they simply exist on a different plane than most humans and some of us are more sensitive to those vibrations they exist on next up have the story of ape cave which is near ape canyon In 1947, a logger by the name of Lawrence Johnson was driving along in his vehicle when a sinkhole swallowed his truck.

My mind immediately went toward old lava tubes, collapsed lava tunnels, geothermal st- steam vents like the glacier caves on Mount Rainier, or even the possibility that the hole wasn't perfectly vertical but followed a winding passage underground.

Washington has some fascinating places that resemble the kind of setting Mel described, like Ape Cave near Mount St. Helens, which has the longest lava tube in the continental United States, and Mount Rainier, which contains glacier ice caves formed by volcanic heat beneath the summit.

None of them are bottomless, but they're incredible places to visit and probably why I was so eager for the story to have a real geological explanation.

Veryovkina Cave in the Caucasus Mountains is over 7,200 feet deep, the deepest known cave on Earth, and is a real geological wonder rather than an urban legend."
