for 1 1/2 hours after dusk. No bats were heard or captured. 



A few other small caves can be seen in limestone outcrops 

 southeast of this cave within 1/2 mile, but these were not 

 explored. 



Wagner's Cave SW 1/4 Sec 23 T8N R13W 



This cave is located in a limestone outcrop 3 . 6 miles southeast 

 of Maxville and west of Boulder Creek, The entrance is barely 

 visible from the road, just above the trees. It is necessary 

 to cross beaver ponds, wade Boulder Creek, and climb a steep 

 trail through Douglas fir forest, then ascend 25 feet of rock 

 to reach the mouth of the cave. A chamber at the mouth of the 

 cave quickly narrows to a 100 foot long horizontal passageway 

 about 4 feet high and 5 feet wide that leads to the first room. 

 Frxan this point there is a series of chambers and passageways 

 that extend perhaps 400 feet further. 



Tenperature = 50 F 



Humidity = 85% 

 This cavG was visited in July and in September. No evidence of 

 bats was found. Because of the steep and difficult terrain to 

 be negotiated, no atterrpt was made to haul the harp trap or bat 

 detector to the cave, though it may be worthv*vile.
