Born and raised there. Still visit when I can. Fantastic place to grow up. Unfortunately, it’s changed quite a bit since then and it’s not as nice as it used to be. So much nostalgia though. Not a well known place where I live now, so it’s really cool to see it on here. Thank you for this.

I have only lived out this way for a little more than a year, so I don't know what Harlansburg was like back then. There are still a lot of cool old buildings there.

Noooope. Weren’t even allowed near them as kids. Used to live right off the hill there. Parents and grandparents always lectured us about how dangerous it was. Most of the issues they caused though were when we had hard rains the bigger rocks would come loose off that hillside and the entrances to the caves and roll out onto Rt. 108. If you came down that hill too quick, and everyone always does, it could do a number on your car if you didn’t see them in time.

A few friends and I went in around 2001/2002. Pretty cool, very muddy, low headroom most of the time, strings going everywhere so you could find your way back. Good thing I did it when I was younger, I cringe thinking about going in there now lol. It's locked now at least
