Dunbar Cave: The Final Adventure
The Dunbar Cave is now closed indefinitely due to the spreading of White Nose Syndrome in bats. Humans have been identified as carriers so in the interest of the bat population they have stopped the guided tours through the cave.
On the final day before deploying to the Land of the Afghans, Britt and I went on one of our characteristic adventures. In the heart of Clarksville hides Dunbar Cave recreation area. Never missing a moment to snap a few pics, and needing an excuse to break in my new boots, I grabbed the Nikon and we hit the trail.
The flood line from last week’s disaster was visible throughout the park. Giant trees found their way up 25-foot hills and the stone walls were striped with dirt.
Mud and debris from the swollen lake litter the entrance to the cave. These columns chronicle the rising water from last week's flood.
I can’t wait to share the amazing scenes of Afghanistan with all of my Spartzine readers. There is still something missing, I feel, in my photography. Hopefully I’ll be able to figure out that missing link and take my images of Afghanistan to the next level.

Matt I love this picture
My second favorite. Love how the tree just pops out at you.
Hi Matt – you should consider submitting picture #15 to the Daily Herald for their photography contest. You need to e-mail it in .jpg format with at least 300 dpi resolution to ssanders@dailyherald.com with your name, address,phone number and a brief description of where you took the photo. If not #15 then one of the other pictures showing the impact of the flooding. I like the picture of Britt.
