My dad was a filmmaker for NASA and all critiques when we watched movies were about cuts and splices etc. Your film technique is great. Grew up in Huntsville and caved for yrs. As kids we explored the cave on Pulaski Pike containing prehistoric drawings. National Speleologic Society claimed it and it's closed off to the public, as it should be. Enjoyed this. Thanks for taking the time to create.
That's cool! :D Glad you enjoyed it. And thank you so much for the compliment!
Hi, my Dad was one of the early Huntsville Grotto members of the NSS. Jim Johnston, was first Office Manager of the NSS Headquarters on Cave St. I caved throughout my childhood and thought I was a pretty good caver. However, the first time I went without my dad as an adult, I realized that it was not that I was a particularly good caver, but rather, I had a good Dad. All I had to do was keep up with him and do as he instructed.
I'm 38. 29 of those years have been spent in Madison County, Al. I had no idea about this cave. Thanks for the enlightenment.
I learned about them, they are the reason there aren’t any skyscrapers
Cool! Thanks! I live in Huntsville and love local history and stuff like this!
I used to work for the HEMSI HART team. There are lots of caves in this area we mapped one several miles long under the river, flash floods are one of the biggest risks in the caves around here.
Grew up in Morgan County
Huntsville is a Very nice city. I worked there at C.S.C. the former tire factory. Everyone that I met was Very Kind , Respectful and Very Helpful. I especially Love the staff at the Space Camp Grounds. THANK YOU TO THE KIND STAFF OF THE SPACE CAMP GROUNDS . Huntsville, Alabama
Excellent video. Yes the caves are underneath, and yes there are secret tunnels (man-made). One lies under the George Steele building (now Broadway Group bldg on SW corner of square). It runs to the courthouse. There's also other secret tunnels under cotton row, Papous and other bldgs. They're all still there, except blocked from entering the entire complex.
My home town!
As a young fool, I ventured in that cave many times and it is larger than the map. And of course I was raised on that water in the 50's and 60's.
Great video!! Lived in Huntsville almost my whole life and never knew about that cave
Thank you!
Great video! #huntsville #DowntownHuntsville #Alabama #HuntsvilleAlabama
Thank you!
Yes, the Madison County Courthouse is so ugly it could be a modern art masterpiece.
Lived in Madison my whole life I was born in Huntsville hospital. It sux now that everyone has moved here.
Grew up in Huntsville and as a child I was told a story that in the early 20th century someone robbed a bank and hid out in there. Surprised I didn’t see it in the comments already. BTW I’ve also been told there’s another entrance in the bottom of (what once was south bank) the building NW of the courthouse on that really steep hill
Rumor has it that Jesse James robbed the bank. It doesn't seem to be true though....check out the article on this page (it's the second article) ourvalleyevents.com/not-true-huntsville-legends/
@@ryanb418 TY for the link. My teacher in elementary(east Clinton) told us JJ robbed the bank and I think my gma told me early on it was a tall tale. The article on mrsBibb is fascinating as well. I grew up right next to maple hill, it’s full of interesting history.
@@CalebManning2 Out of curiosity....did you ever live in Orlando, FL?
@@ryanb418 hah idk if this a Casey Anthony thing, but no, just north AL
@@CalebManning2 LOL, TY....I feel much better now :)
Do you life in Huntsville/north Alabama? This was unexpectedly detailed!
I do! Thanks :)
Does anyone know why there is a door to no where in the stone wall above big spring park?
Great vid man. I grew up in Huntsville, right downtown at the corner of Eustis Ave and Lincoln Street. I always heard that the end of the cave was right under my house. Was cool to see the map that showed this to be a fact. I am in town working on a short doc about the rocket city. If you don't mind I'd love to use a few clips from this video. Let me know if that's OK by you. By the way I graduated Hsv high. Where did you go?
Thanks, and go for it!
I was homeschooled, so 😉
@@sharpenedge Thanks brother
@@sharpenedge I subbed too by the way. If you feel like it I'd appreciate it if you checked me out when I finish the hsv vid.
@@cityskylines11 Will do! I'll sub and ring the bell.
@@sharpenedge by the way, I watched missing and it you filmed that then you are seriously good. Also the Jordan Peterson hand gestures was gold.
I remember my grandmother used to send me there to get those lil hamburgers.
Always been told about the cave, and the courthouse one day will fall. Also heard that's why it's cracks in the floor inside the courthouse
Most people see the spray and think that's the source, look closer.
I kinda son’t like the caves, they prevent us from having skyscrapers, as the ground would cave in
This video was great. I learned alot. I'm from Huntsville. Great job. Check out Taylor's grand adventures for destinations videos like these
Isn't Huntsville sitting on a massive amount of caves?
Yes!
CAY-sonn.
I wonder what makes it so dangerous?
Morlocks
My parents worked a combined total of 67 years at NASA. The only thing wrong with Huntsville is that it is surrounded by Alabama!
Aren’t you cute.
kindly stay well away from Huntsville and Alabama if it's such a problem for you ^_^
This was a suggested video to me and I enjoyed it, but with all due respect, your claims about there being sewage in the water and it not being drinkable are simply not true.
1. The water is fairly clear. If there were sewage in it then it would be very murky.
2. There is an abundance of fish that live in the Spring Park Lake across the road, that is fed by the big spring of course. If there was sewage in the water, lack of oxygen would kill the fish due to the oxygen being depleted by bacteria decomposing the organic material.
3. Water is drawn not far from the downtown spring site that is treated and supplied to part of the city for drinking water. If there was sewage in the water it would not be pumped to a water treatment facility for public use. It would go to a wastewater treatment facility.
The water is quite fine in fact. Just Earth’s natural raw water.
I stand corrected. Thanks for the feedback!
