Cave City-1,627' (Calaveritas)
(38.2024183, -120.5085359)
Description:
Saturday, June 6, we rode to Cave City, over a very rough trail, visited a cave there and returned again to Murphy’s. The cave is in limestone and is quite extensive, running at least half a mile underground. It was like all limestone caverns, with chambers and galleries, and stalactites, etc., but all was very dirty. Cave City is a dilapidated little village, the placers worked out, and decay is on every side. Up and Down California: The Journal of William H. Brewer, 1860-1864, Book 4, Chp 3
