Land deal protects cave with ancient drawings
The Tennessean, Feb 26 08...
CROSSVILLE, Tenn. — The green, 385-acre Devilstep Hollow has guarded a secret since prehistoric times. A cave lies underground with bird-man
creatures and other mysterious images carved into the limestone or painted on the walls.
This is one of only about 60 cave art sites documented in the Southeast, and 48 in Ten-nessee, according to Jan Simek, distinguished professor of
science and interim chancellor of the University of Tennessee.
The Devilstep cave art should survive modern times because the Tennessee Parks and Greenways Foundation has acquired the land, and the state is buying
it at cost, about $2.1 million, including surveying and fees.
This will protect the natural area and spring that helps form the Sequatchie River, but the cave is its most unusual feature.

Hey - Cumberline knows where his roots are !
Tennessee better watch out or that bunch of Buckeyes will be a lookin' to steal their cave - sounds like a good place to stash that special rock they
took from us last month !
Hate that eight mile drive home!
