The above coordinates will take you to the entrance of Mosquito
Cave. Enter the cave to claim this find...prepare to get dirty.
After the Civil War, a gang of horse thieves used to run their
stolen horses through what is now known as Horsethief Cave. The
thieves would enter the cave, located a few miles north of Mosquito
Cave, and not emerge until they reached Anamosa - 23 miles
away!
In later years Horsethief Cave was sealed, and now sits on
private property, leaving only the legends of the past.
