BOTTOM PASTURE CAVE


Position:

Field notes: D. K. ROGGY

Cavers: R. S. Stewart, D. K. Roggy, E. Slack

Time in: 15:00 EST, Time out: 16:00 EST

THREAT VULNERABILITY: Low

The entrance of this stream passage cave is at a hillside "at the head of the Dundee or Post river", as described in Jamaica Underground. Outside the entrance a continuous stream of water pours out onto a piece of galvanized gutter, emerging straight from the hillside.

We entered the approximately 2m tall opening and found a low passage under what seemed to be a collection of large boulders, leading into a large, water filled chamber. Up above the large boulders was a space that I personally explored, while Stefan busied himself with the main chamber below. The space above was perhaps a meter high, and strewn with small pebbles. Off to the left was a small passage with a foot or so of water in it. It seemed still. I observed several small shrimps with bright gold eyes in the water.
