On May 29th 2011 I checked out the cave entrances from Milk to Ensminger’s. All the cave entrances south of Ensminger’s were very wet. As I rounded the corner from Spring Cave I was shocked to see that most of Ensminger’s Cave had collapsed into the Niagara River Gorge. It happened sometime in the last 10 months. I checked out the fallen boulders about 150 feet below where the cave had been. I imeadtaely recognized a part of the western most entrance cave wall by its distinct solution features. By the crushed vegetation around the boulders it appears that the collapse had happened quite recently.
