    I don't know if you are his father or something, but God bless you for spending time and fostering the growth of a younger person doing a unique hobby and vocation like this. Things like this are important practices and should be continued to be shared.

    This was great! As soon as the video started, I thought, "That looks just like Hanging Rock!" Now I'll have to check this one out too. :) Thanks!

      I'm pretty sure Hanging Rock and Black Rock are the only large prominences like that on the entire length of the Wabash!

      I try to add any historical references when I can. Especially when it comes to Native Americans, I know my primary education growing up left a LOT out! Thanks for watching.

      It is a small preserve and doesn't take much time to explore, but there are several other preserves in the area that can make for a great day of exploration. Thanks for watching!

    Very cool place the cave is interesting and perhaps a great shelter to dodge a severe thunder storm!.. ⛈🌪💨

      It is pretty cool, I've been a member of NICHES Land Trust in the past (the group that manages the preserve) but not nearly active enough. Thanks for watching Max!

    Really nice video and great cave dwellings! Thanks for sharing! I don’t get up the Wabash way, I live down by the Ohio and have been studying Native American folklore and dwellings around this area.
    Anyways, really enjoyed seeing you two exploring together! 🙂

    Loved the history 👍 Did you think about playing hide and go seek there? 😁 Cool rocky exploration. 💪

    • @SlonesWildernessExpeditions

      Haha yeah it would be a good hide & seek location! Might quarantine in there if things get worse LOL! Thanks for watching!

    Interesting rocks. I was a little disappointed with the 'caves.' A friend told me this place had the largest cave network in Indiana. Totally false. You guys ever check out 7 pillars? There are actually 9. I counted.

    • @SlonesWildernessExpeditions
      @SlonesWildernessExpeditions  Před rokem

      There was an article from "Only In Indiana" that had the clickbait title comparing Black Rock to Mammoth Cave! 🤦‍♂️ Yes, we've been to Seven Pillars a few times.
