I'm intrigued. One commenter on one of the links said they found it and it's exactly where it was said to be, but heavily obscured by growth and vines.

Yea it sounds like it’s unlikely to exist as there isn’t limestone there. But kind of strange how detailed some of the accounts are. It has me more wondering how Tory’s den and twin lakes are the only ones out by the border, where in theory the material that’s allows caves to exist is I guess much more plentiful. Makes me want to go exploring!

The articles addressed this some.

As I understand the area is unlikely to have any of the rock in which caves form as primary structures, such as by dissolution of bedrock minerals in waters, i.e., karst topography, or like lava tube caves. It is likely to have talus caves, which is consistent with those depressions in the hills that the locals call the Colebrook Dinosaur Tracks.

A talus cave is also consistent with the descriptions of smooth surfaces, boulders falling from the ceiling, and a lack of stalactites.
