Larry Smith called at 9:36amCT, Thursday, February 21, 2012, to tell us that Mike Daugherty has guessed the location of the mystery cave photo. "He identified it as being located behind the South Graveyard off KY 55 on Tebbs Bend Road. He said the cave is over Green River. And that the scene is directly under the Tebb's Bend Marker. He is absolutely right."

At almost exactly the same time, Mike Keltner, Columbia, KY, identified the same location, writing, "Could this be the one behind the monument on Tebbs Bend Road, down over the cliff." That's the one. -EW

Yes, it is famed spelunker Larry Smith. But where is he?



2012-02-22 - Within 20 miles of Columbia, KY - Photo by possibly Innocent Bystander.
Famed Southern Kentucky Caver Larry Smith, known to a few as Larry Smith, historian; Larry Smith, photographer; Larry Smith of the The Big Dawg, sends this Mystery Photo of himself in his I'm Immortal, Foolhearty Days, with the firm, absolute warning not to go here yourself. "It's too dangerous!" he said. "I ought to have know better, but didn't back then." The photo was taken in 1986. There's no prize for identification of the location, but there will be world of fame.

Or drive by the Shoreline tower at 101 East Main Street, Campbellsville, KY, and sign him that you know or just roll down the car window and wave as you pass by.
