Crazy question....any caves around there??!
There are tons of commercial caves in the Central Virginia region, but not any caves that I know of in that immediate vicinity. However, that isn't to say that there aren't some smaller ones that are unknown to most people.
there are actually quite a few small caves around here.. not big underground caverns... but on the property I lived on growing up in Nelson we had one... it had a hole you had to crawl through... opened up into a small room that you could not stand up in, had to be very bent over, and another smaller room you had to crawl into... nothing big... but still that was just one on our property.. and there are others around that are smaller and others bigger... lots of moonshiners caves up in the hills and over yonder, as we say round here...
I moved to Nelson at the age of eight... I now live on the Amherst/Nelson county Line with all of my family still in nelson... you may as well consider the two counties to be one in many ways.... we go through or into nelson on almost a daily basis... so from the age of 8 until present, I know the area.. and Im in my 40's now... I know this area well... as a teen (went to Nelson County High) I was rebellious, drank and did all sorts of teen stuff I shouldn't have... I know the back roads, the terrain, the places to go get messed up without worry of others coming up on you... my hubby who has lived here since his teens is the same... all the old drinking roads and haunts, etc... and with all of that there are sooooooooooooooo many places that nobody has been too, meaning rarely touched by humans, type places, around here... and so many of the places we used to go to decades ago, are now paths all grown over and most forgotten about... and theres tons of stuff like that around these parts... just saying... as a means of giving some more idea of the lay of the land around here...
also, in case anyone wants to follow... Dhomonique Ricks from wset13 on her FB is researching all records on RAT going back 20 years, run ins that UBliss shop's family had with RAT previously, etc.. according to her posts on her page and will be reporting them at the 5pm and later broadcasts

also I wanted to respond to some other things I had multi-qouted but lost it somehow, so gotta go back and look it all up again... but off the top of my head, i remembered reading in one of the 29 stalker articles that someone posted on here that 29stalker had gotten the three women to put something in windows of their cars before riding off with him... I think it was early 2012 that an older woman, Gene Braxton? was found in a local pond with her "disabled vehicle" parked along side the road with a white rag in the window... I think she was in her late 60's and it was attributed to her getting lost in the dark and not seeing the pond as she walked for help... this pond and her car were right beside 29... I never heard anything in the news about it after that though... may be absolute coincidence.. or could be an out of practice 29 stalker making a trial run on an older person.... massively just opinion and speculation... but thought it was interesting... and I will find the link.... I promise.. wait here is one link but not the one I was looking for

Fletcher's level comes right out on 29 (connects 29 and 151).. anyway, this is only a few minutes down 29 (in local terms of driving) from lovingston area
again.... PER SPECULATION on my part
