Thank you Mr. Joshua for redirecting my query.  Like I said, I'm a newy.   

I've heard that much of the southern geology is limestone in nature, increasing the likelyhood of holes, sinks, caves, similar to the ones along the central Appalachians.... but I thought massachusetts was more granite.  does granite also form holes?

ydoodle, do you ever spelunk in the holes of mass?

There is actually a halfway decent article on TAG (Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia) caves in this month's National Geographic.

Here are some links that might help you out...

And every year TAG cavers hold a big shindig...
