Abandoned Native American Resort | Searching For The Legendary Potato Cave

[@wendybamamom]

I've always wondered what that place would look like during daylight. I can imagine that place was quite beautiful back in the day. Thank you do much for going back in daylight and filming it.

[@cardinaloflannagancr8929]

I'm still watching the video but wanted to say looking good so far. I enjoy all your content, though the exploration is really cool to see you doing again.

[@dawnkurtz9541]

When I was young, I would explore like this. Now I live vicariously through you. I don’t believe in the paranormal stuff - does not line up with God’s Word- but I watch because you guys are so funny. One of my boys lives in Paris Tennessee, a Pastor. About your age and size. I am from NE Ohio so I enjoy exploring Tennessee.

[@sandilynnpetersen]

You’re looking good and happier, Jon. This exploration video was fascinating. I love old ruins like this. Blessings to you!

Ps..they say there’s large empty rooms located off that potato room too but 1/2 covered in water but yes, they say it’s nearly a mile long from the original tunnel opening and stays 58 degrees and why they stored potatoes and other foods but it’s been explored and the Cherokee pottery, arrowheads and other belongings were stored in one of those larger rooms located past the initial potato’s room. A mile long tunnel with several large dug out rooms! A giant jaguars bones were discovered down there too, all on display in NYs “Lost Sea” museum.

The saber-tooth cat was found in a pit in the Lost Sea in Sweetwater, Tennessee. It's on display there. It's fell in a pit and died. The claw marks are still there. You can see the pit if you go on the spelunking tour. The potato room is the second larger room back into the cave entrance at Indian Cave. Called that because they used to store potatoes in it in the 1800s and milk was stores in the stream boxes.

Stayed in a cabin at this resort when I was a kid. My father was from Alabama and every summer we would go to see my grandmother. I remember going through the cave and hearing the story of the Trail of Tears and the Indian Cave. Thanks for this video it brought back some great memories.

[@PinInTheAtlas]

Looks like an incredible place to explore and beautiful scenery. The Potato Cave sounds exciting- looking forward to seeing that video.

[@angiewanders7272]

I love your paranormal videos but it was great to see a video of this resort. I remember when you were there before. I really enjoyed you exploring. Thank you for the tips you gave us. I will remember them and use the tips in the future.

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Jon, wow I loved this video, it was back to the good ole days huh, I remember back when you would just go out and see what you would see, this was awesome. Thank you for sharing, much love to you and Heather. xx ❤

[@lindaknipple9126]

Thanks so much for the explore. It was cool seeing this place in the daylight. Just please be careful!!!!

[@josefizquierdo6139]

Where I live, in South Texas, I've found lots of Native American artifacts. Normally, people can recognize "arrowheads" and other similar artifacts. Most of the ones that I've found, though, are not classified in a catalogue. Many of them are unique tools, toys, and effigies. 🗿

[@wendybamamom]

I very much enjoyed this adventure but would really like to see the potatoe cave so when you do find it please share. I can't get out like you do so I look forward for your videos. Thanks so much Jon. You & Heather stay safe & healthy.

[@sueyoung8697]

I use to do a lot of hiking when I was young lol the good Ole days, my 61yr old body wouldn't allow me now a days lol, but I miss it and I love your exploring videos the best, stay safe

[@MsSusie1959]

Thank you, Jon for sharing this Resort with us

[@skiesdub]

*I hear alot of these stories from my fellow native american relatives and i learned alot but there alots of places to explore*

[@explore71australia42]

Great video Jon! Nothing quite like getting back to your roots!

[@IrishLincoln]

My great-grandfather used to own this cave and the property above and next to it. I'm curious if the transfer of the Monday estate with have any direct affect on the cave. Be nice if someone fixed it up and reopened it, but it would be a major investment.

[@Ophiuchus47]

My grandmas house is less than a mile up the road from the indian cave. I would walk down to the cave often when i was young. From my knowledge the top entrance is on the ground just a hole/opening to the cave, but it was filled in so many years ago. My dad knows where it is but I've neved been above the cave to look for it. Its not too far from what I've been told. Youre best bet would be to talk to some of the old timers that live near by. Ill be there this spring if i find it ill let ya know!

[@bethclements5537]

Jon, those trees with the leaves still on are a type of Beech tree. Enjoyed the video.

[@cindymcgill642]

I have got some kin folks that lives in Duck town of Tennessee and it's beautiful in the mountains of hills. I've lived in Georgia USA 🇺🇸 all my life love listening to our history and the spooky videos you make. Take care in those caves they are some real dangerous.

[@kristy7174]

Always liked this place. Good to see it during day. I remember the trip to the back of the cave. Great history too. Thanks for the revisit. GB

[@MsDawggysLuckyLife]

I’m actually Colorado native and descendant of the Cherokee Tribe who settled here in our southwestern mountains. I love the historical aspects of life. Again, thank you for sharing. Looked up Potato Cave and is it legit directed to the underneath largest known lake “Lost Sea”? Wowww, it’s so intriguing but spooky if someone was to fall in because as of now there’s still no ends to the lake in pitch darkness, especially when you’re out on your own! Serious note..please be extra safe, I explore 💯 alone too but the history behind this area could indicate there’s more secretly dug tunnels that drop to that lake. Am I reading that correctly?

[@RayRayTheExplorer]

Place is still there! Good to see you are still exploring my friend. ❤✌

[@wgrillojr]

Lmao - "Just a little tip look for the cave listen for the sound of air (like a quief?)... its just a little tip." hahaha That had me rolling on the floor. I haven't laughed so much in a while. Thanks for that unrealized dirty humor.

[@Easternboyadventures]

You and Josh inspired us to come out with our own KZbin channel and do paranormal investigations so thank you both

[@susansaid4276]

Thank you for sharing this with us must have been a beautiful little places there shame they been left to just rot away 😟

[@michaelstrong3634]

Really enjoyed the exploring video, keep em coming. You do a good job Jon.

[@sadielevens1144]

Thanks! I love to explore but my health no longer allows me to. I loved this nice walk through the woods.

[@BurtW546]

Hi Jon glad you're doing it again.Thank you.

[@jeniw8586]

Enjoyed the explore. Doesn't matter if you find something or not, it's still an adventure. Sometimes unexpected finds are even better than what you think you'll find

[@lindamccaughey6669]

Oh I so loved that. I do love the exploration just as much as spook hunting. Thank you so much for taking me with you, please stay safe and take care

[@dalecollins3915]

I probably watch Jon's exploring videos more than any of the other explorer's , his is usually the first ones I watch if they are new places....I hope he can continue going to new places that he hasn't been to before

[@rollins4484]

A regular exploration video is a nice change of pace, your content is enjoyable nonetheless.

[@tepsinvestigates]

No wonder why you was tired when I showed up...lol. I wish my drone wasn't dead that day. We may have stopped it. Good video.

[@cindyjofaithful4469]

What a fun, beautiful and interesting explore! Thank you I really enjoyed this😍

[@spooktatorbob4867]

Very nice exploration video. And that river really makes the eyes pop. A good camp on the mountain side with that river below would be awesome!

[@peteroberts3127]

Love it man! Missed you! Be safe! Take care!

[@MrShackleneck]

The leaf debris appears to be turkey scratchings. Movement of leaves to find insects and worms mice , acorns and anything edible .

[@denahoward10]

I hope you have protection for yourself. I wish they would of kept that place original. I bet it was beautiful. That is so sad how they done the native people. Thank you for sharing.

[@gloriaamaya9031]

I so glad to see you again john im so happy i pray for you in your ex friend i really love your videos God bless everyone from Houston Texas

[@lorindamilwain4369]

Really enjoyed this explore. Its nice to see you doing something you enjoy at a nice relaxed pace ❤

[@stephenberrier1206]

I know where that cave is My mom and dad have property that Joins the cave property I played out in those woods all my life

[@charlottereed8060]

Hi, Jon!! You’re looking great!! Love your “face brush”!! Hi to Heather and the girls!! ❤️🤟🏻

[@eringemini7091]

Omg John! You ran into a woman that dates younger men there at the Indian Cave? There was no reason to be afraid, we're not that SCARY! , Wait...you meant a 🐱🐆🐅Cougar, like with fur😹! Seriously, what a cool cave/abandoned explore! The history is sad, but let us not forget it, or be doomed to repeat it!( Trail of 😢 Tears).

[@wilmasnowden7637]

I really enjoyed this video. I love the outdoors and the exploring. Thanks.

[@spiritlove2]

I like when u explore and catch something paranormal, without meaning to. Those r the ones that are more intense. Jon u go to great places and have a wonderful way of telling history on those places, I can't wait!

[@rustyshackelford4592]

That's a beautiful area. I'd love to have a house up on that hill

[@countryboyexplorer2411]

I really appreciate you sharing this with us. I really enjoyed it.

[@floriebrown2089]

I do remember your night visit there, Lovely turkey tail mushroom Jon there is a lot to be seen in the woods specially during the falls I love spotting mushrooms and collect the edibles and keeping fit. Leaves are still hanging on because the weather might have been mild for a while then frosty. the hole surrounded by stones could have been an animal shelter. Thanks for the video.

[@pemberleymcdaniel3378]

Thanks for this. I'm proud to be part Cherokee

[@rhondaking6433]

I cannot believe how fast this has been destroyed since seeing it last and you could walk in and all the way to and through the cave area. People are so disrespectful and destructive!!!???!!! So SAD!

[@esperanzajarvio6742]

Looks beautiful awesome video Jon, be safe. ❤✌ CALI🌴

[@ParanormalPaul]

Keep strong Jon, all the best, love the content, God bless ya buddy

[@faithmadden5982]

[@sue1625]

This was Awesome 😎 Thanks Josh!

Jon!! I want to go exploring that cave/mine rock structure! Wowwww! I’m down to go with a go-pro and a metal detector! Uhhh ghost meter too. Lol Great location Sir, thank you 😊

[@TheBaitShoppe-CrumpTN]

Enjoyed this vid very much!

[@dalecollins3915]

Revisiting too many places that you have already been 2 or 3 times....I always liked your exploration videos....I hope you get back like you were couple years ago.... everyone has problems but I hope you get everything fixed and get back into

[@luv2luv720]

Explore then ghost hunt! That sounds great to do. Helps set the scene for the ghosts that used to live or work there you'll be hunting for!

[@stephenberrier1206]

You walked right by it

[@wgrillojr]

Where is the link you said you were going to post to the old video about this place?

This is a very cool place.may big foot up in there

It's still pretty awesome place

[@chriscarter225]

If those wires were live they would have been burning the leaves and the mushrooms 🍄.I really enjoyed that thank u 👍

[@rema_1729]

I absolutely love this explore! I remember the cougar episode.... Scary man! I love the quiet the trees it's all very cool. I wonder if it's called the potato cave because of the Powhatan Potato Clan? Love history!

When was it? Could you tell me the date so I can find it?

Don't recall seeing this during the day it's beautiful thanks

the sky looks so beautiful out there

[@Yereeka420]

I went to the rave in the cave in the late 90's. It was awesome from what I can remember.

[@lissachocolate]

Enjoyed this daytime exploration a lot. Also learned interesting tidbits. Good time of year as most leaves are down and kudzu is dead so can see more. I’m glad you keep your safety in mind! Beautiful area.

[@813lem]

Oak trees. Pin oaks I think. The leaves dont drop until spring when the new buds coming out push them off

[@lisaoaks3262]

Stay safe friend.

I hope you're doing fine because I love watching your videos

I love it when you do this most bro! Awesome video

[@MurderousMindstate]

The mushroom looking fungi on the sticks is known as foxfire and it glows in the dark and also the tree soaks up the chemical so the inside of the branches will glow in the dark as well.

[@totalvamp792]

I never knew any of this. When did this place close? Thank you for this video.

My backyard was woods in upstate NY so this was Funtastic!🤗❤😊

I Absolutely Loved this Jon The History is unbelievable My Grandmother was Cherokee but unfortunately she passed before I was born😢 History is so important I wonder 🤔 who owns that land It should be turned into a historical Site with information it Thank You Jon for sharing & braving all this My dad was from Kentucky also Its a small world really Who knows we my be related 😅

[@aprilburnett333]

About 4:30 everything changes when you enter that building

[@dapdan74]

That's actually an Indian burial ground mound in the mouth of the cave left of the iron gate at the front.

[@dalecollins3915]

You should really think about going to some of the old places in straw plains there was some 1812 war sites there and many old places to explore.... and if you know the place I'm referring to called forks of the river and old houses close to Asbury road and the houses people lived in that worked the rock quarries..... I've watched all of your explores and this is places that you haven't already been 2 or 3 times..... locations are not far at all

[@tinapasswaters9373]
