March 9 – The Cave

A trip to a local watering hole, in a cave!

The entrance to The Cave. Dining is pleasant on the protected patio also.

Truitt’s Cave was found and developed by Mr. John “Dad” Truitt in the 1920’s. It opened as a restaurant in the 1940’s. The most recent owners have returned the dining room to it’s glory and added a herd of goats to the hill on the right of the entrance. The extensive cave itself still needs work to be opened for tours in the future.

The fireplace mantel is decorated with crystals and conch shells. The chimney is a natural fissure in the rock overhead.

    Hello Robert and Mary Jo,

    Thanks for stopping in to visit us at Waterfront Grill at Black Bear today. My visit with the two of you and hearing the stories of your travels was a bright spot in an otherwise VERY dreary and rainy day. I wish God’s traveling grace on you two and safe and fun travels in your future. PLEASE stop back in if you ever find yourself in Delhi, LA again. ENJOY!!!! Maybe one day I will be able to do the same……Jeff
