Malheur Cave, Eastern Oregon

Post by guitarmaker »

I'm wondering if any of you have ever dove Malheur Cave near Burns Oregon? I remember doing a lot of spelunking in the Eastern Oregon lava tubes as a high-school kid growing up in Burns, Oregon. Malheur cave, dead ending into water, is by far the most well known and easiest to access (there is - or used to be - a Masonic lodge inside of it). There are a number of tech divers here in Salem (read my profile to learn I'm not one of them! -yet-) who's interest I've peaked in my description of the cave. Let me know please if you've dove this recently or know if it's worth diving.

Its privately owned by the Lodge according to my Tricities friend. Its been dove historically, but not allowed without permission, the tube is about 4-500ft long underwater, no side tunnels.
