beabird: I had good intentions to replace this cache, but just haven't gotten around to it. Heck, I haven't even been out caching in months. Decided instead to make room for someone else to hide a nice cache in this fascinating location.

"Little beabird" exploring Devil's Cave...


Long ago, a young brave broke the laws of the people.	He would steal from people.
One day he took a pony.	Angered that he had stolen, he was forced away from camp.
Later, a person of fire would appear on dark nights.	Following footprints to the cave, a fire was built to force the person of fire out.
Suddenly, a body jumped through the flames, dove into the river and went away. They recognized the brave who stolve.	In the cave, a glowing fungus was found. The brave would put it all over himself to look like a person of fire. Then he would scare people.
That is how the cave was named "Cave of the Spirit" or... "Devil's Cave".	Pictures and story on display at Red Oak Nature Center
