Charlie's Folly Cave

Charlie's Folly Cave is a beautiful multi-drop cave system in the southwest desert. Charlie Walsh found it going into holes without ropes. California cavers discovered and surveyed it in the 1970s with a profile map. Locals apparently also know about it and have visited recently. The cave reaches 234ft deep but the profile did not do the system justice.

A nice trunk passage at the bottom of the 100ft sloping drop with a gallery in the back corner, quite large. Found another in-cave pit going down 50ft and continuing deeper. The entrance pit is large with old 'Lucky' stamped bolts. Want to go back to ridge walk and check more leads.
