THE DEFINITIVE WORK <\/strong>ON LAUREL CAVERNS\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

BY CURT HARLER<\/strong><\/p>\n

CAVERNS IN THE CLOUDS is the show-all, tell-all result of uber-photographer Ryan Maurer\u2019s love affair with Laurel Caverns in Fayette County, PA. Laurel is a commercial operation in the front with significant wild cave beyond the tour route. It is the largest known cave, by volume, in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

When photography is done correctly it is art. This book, while more than a collection of photos, is art. The quality of photographs speaks for the amount of work Maurer (NSS-65509) put into the book. There are detailed maps of all sections of the cave. There are geological diagrams. Many historic photos round out the collection. There are sections on accidents and incidents in the cave, stratigraphy and rock units, hydrology, speleothems, flora and fauna, and even anthropogenic effects.<\/p>\n

What might not show as readily to the casual reader is the amount of research done outside caves. Ryan took full advantage of people long-associated with Laurel as well as local and regional libraries. He spent time at the Mid-Atlantic Karst Conservancy\u2019s Library in nearby Blairsville. He scrolled through microfilm at the Uniontown Public Library which is located at the base of the mountain below Laurel Caverns. He spoke to cavers, especially with Pittsburgh and Loyalhanna Grottoes, with specialized knowledge in geology, cave biology, and history.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got a lot of extra information on rescues, activities, and the earliest history of the cave by trolling the microfilm records at the Uniontown Public Library,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery page (of the book) represents hours of research,\u201d says David Cale, current owner of Laurel Caverns Geological Park. \u201cHis intensive research has pulled truth from the swamp of myth.\u201d<\/p>\n

NSS members with four-digit numbers (or low fives) will remember Laurel as Delaney\u2019s Cave near Farmington. It also was known as Laurel Hill Cave. The human story starts in 1794.<\/p>\n

For Maurer, himself, the story starts as he grew up in southwestern Pennsylvania. Laurel was one of the first caves he visited.\u00a0\u201cMy family is friends with David and Lillian Cale and I met them once at a Church Fish Fry event. I think I was eight years old,\u201d he recalls. \u201cDavid explained to me how stalagmites formed using the\u00a0salt and sugar at the table.\u201d Maurer became intimate with the caverns later when he worked there 2015-2019 as a tour guide, caving guide, and rappelling instructor.<\/p>\n

Library research aside, nothing contributed more than Maurer\u2019s in-person cave trips. While he spent maybe 20 hours at the Uniontown Library and another hundred hours in online archives, he logged 2100 trips into the cave. Of that, over 300 were dedicated trips for this project.\u00a0\u201cEvery trip in the cave was an opportunity to observe and document,\u201d he notes.\u00a0\u201cI never led a family tour or caving group without my notebook, Suunto tandem, etc.\u00a0There is not a single inch of the known cave that I have not personally seen or sketched,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

All told, he figures he spent nearly 10,000 hours in Laurel on trips ranging from 2-12 hours.<\/p>\n

Pinning him down to a favorite of the thousands of photos he has taken in Laurel, he will concede that the self-portrait called Petite Falls in Flood Stage is his favorite. Laurel has a small watershed so streams in the cave are usually trickles. In late spring and early summer, thunderstorms cause brief, but significant, flood pulses.\u00a0He drove to the cave in June 2019 in anticipation of an arriving squall and ran into the cave on a solo trip to photograph the flood pulse. \u201cI got there within 15 minutes of the crest and took the self-portrait,\u201d he says.\u00a0\u201cIn over 2100 trips into the cave I have only ever seen the waterflow this high three times.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many sources contributed to the final product. Paul Damon, Sr. (NSS-2939 Fe AL) provided historic information for most of 1740-1815 period and then again from 1850-1970. Everything after 1970 was gleaned from people like Lisa Hall (NSS-24916), Bill Moser, Eric Cale, Jim Kennedy (NSS-26791 FE), Kim and Tom Metzgar (NSS-32145 FE and NSS-24673 FE).\u00a0David Cale sat for over three hours of taped interviews and contributed several more hours of emails and personal interviews.<\/p>\n

Maurer\u2019s underground photography has found many other homes, including in \u201cALEXANDER CAVERNS: Mifflin County\u2019s Once Spectacular Show Cave\u201d<\/em> a coffee-table book by Forest K. Fisher where Ryan provided a modern photographic essay to complement the historical photos in the book. Most recently, Ryan\u2019s work graced the back cover of the NSS NEWS (January 2025).<\/p>\n

Like most projects,\u00a0CAVERNS IN THE CLOUDS started and stopped a few times.\u00a0\u201cThe gestalt of the book changed a time or two as well,\u201d Ryan admits. \u201cI originally wanted it in narrative form before switching to the \u2018guidebook\u2019 style a few years ago.<\/p>\n

The book is published in two versions: full color (historic photos are b&w) and a less expensive version in black and white. In the b&w version, color photos were specifically converted as necessary for reproduction.\u00a0\u201cTwo photos in the book were shot on medium and large format black and white then digitally scanned. They were reproduced to look like what the prints from the darkroom look like,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Maurer will have these prints on display during a book launch event at Laurel Caverns and at Speleobooks during Convention in New York.<\/p>\n

The book is self-published and available at https:\/\/www.underarockphoto.com<\/a>. It is $75 plus $15 for domestic shipping.\u00a0The launch event will be at Laurel Caverns on Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend, May 24-25. Look for a booth where Ryan will do signings, will give a presentation or two, and probably offer a guided trip in both the commercial and caving sections.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth the color and black and white versions will be available there at $75 and $35 each,\u201d Maurer adds.<\/p>\n

SIDEBAR<\/p>\n

IS IT CAVERN OR CAVERNS?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a story behind why the book is titled \u201cCAVERNS\u201d rather than CAVERN, singular. After all, it is just one cave. So how did the cave become plural (it was Laurel Hill Cave and Delaney\u2019s Cave, singular, before that).<\/p>\n

Maurer originally had “Cavern” in the book\u2019s title because he thought it rolled off the tongue well. The original plural reference was from a poem written in 1965 by Pat Joy in a local paper called the West Penn<\/em> News<\/em>. Ironically, he has been unable to find a copy of the original. After that several postcards began to refer to Laurel as the “Caverns in the Clouds.” Some days the cave is literally in or above the clouds since it sits high on Chestnut Ridge. Amazingly, this phenomenon is one of the few aspects of Laurel not pictured in the book. Maurer waffled a while on “Cavern” versus “Caverns.\u201d\u00a0Then Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro referred to the “Caverns in the Clouds” in his February 4, 2025 speech about turning the cave into the state\u2019s 125th<\/sup> state park and first underground park. \u201cThat sealed the deal for me,\u201d Ryan laughs.\u00a0\u201cIf anyone has issues about it, I guess we can blame the Governor! That\u2019s how these things work, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
