This cave was located just above Hylandale Academy on County Road “J” that runs past the school. It is on school land and is a natural crevice that keeps snow and ice all summer long. Back in the thirties it was dug out and three flights of stairs put in which led to a small very cold room. A small building was placed up on the road and tourists paid a small fee to see this phenomenon in the summer. Mr. Percy Hallock { a principal at Hylandale Academy} found a crack in some rocks over in the next valley by Highway 162 and he always figured that somehow there might be an underground connection of these two.
Now many years later the steps have long since given way and the shale rocks have fallen in, the pay booth is gone so that anyone going by knows nothing of the ice cave except a cool breeze when one gets close to where the old entrance was.
This cache is a trade cache- something for all ages!{Please take something even if you don't have a trade item}
Thanks to Lon Hallock of the Hylandale Association for giving permission to place this cache on School property.
