Bigfoot in Cave in Kentucky

[BIAD]

...The Clinch is on the Tennessee River drainage, whereas the area where the reporter mentions dropping in the GPS buoy is on the Big Sandy drainage, which drains into the Ohio River - but those are all surface rivers, and may not have any bearing at all on the subsurface flow. The buoy would have to travel underground beneath Russel Fork, and Levisa River, and possibly under Guess's Fork and the Powell River, then under Sandy Ridge, which divides the Tennessee drainage from the Ohio drainages in order to resurface in the Clinch River in Tennessee...

On a vaguely similar note to this discussion, I know underground water is a strange thing. The newspaper company
that I worked for had two old-style printing-presses designed to work whilst settled on wet sand! The site was situated
on a slight bank where an underground 'floodage' of warm spring-water soaked its way through a bed of shale.

Hundreds of years ago, builders of a long-destroyed woollen-mill constructed the basements to utilise the ambient warmth
that came from the sluggish movement of the freshwater. (I actually have old water-colour paintings of the basement of that
building that were salvaged during its destruction!)

Those who constructed our Presses also realised that when nature deals you a hand, you play it within the rules. However,
not everyone knows the game and so when a Shopping Mall was decided on to be built on the same bank, they believed
deep piles driven into the earth would assure a stable ground to erect their venture.

Result: The insurers of our printing presses stepped away when the massive machines began to shake themselves to pieces!
The wet shale had gone dry due to the reinforced concrete columns further up the bank were altering the water's natural route
to a low point where a river was situated and the two presses had become unstable.

A couple of months later when the piles had been sank, where the textile mill had stood beside the river, warm water began to
gush out of an ancient brick wall into the river! The local Water-company spent six-weeks attempting to locate the leak and
could not understand why the water wasn't cold.
