They were 1st congressional district Representative L. Mendel Rivers, Governor of South Carolina Robert Evander McNair, state Senator Rembert Dennis, and Columbia mayor Lester Bates. This showed that the historically known portions of Hellhole were a mere side passage to a much larger cave system. [2] Rivers was especially proud of the uniqueness of being born in this remote area and would tell reporters that he was "from Gumville. One unique event of the festival is the Hell Hole Gator Trot 10k, colloquially called the Redneck Run. In June 2015, official reporting on the total length of Hellhole was updated to 42 miles (67.5 km) and depth to 737 feet (225 m). Hellhole is a large and deep pit cave in Germany Valley, eastern West Virginia. In the 1990s, at urging of the WV DNR, Greer also began to allow limited exploration and mapping of the cave (one or two trips per year). The name dates back to 1761 or earlier. This cold air collecting phenomenon is what makes the cave so vulnerable to accidental damage from quarrying activities. The crucial factor in Hellhole's status as a world class bat habitat is its low ambient air temperature. There are estimated to be about 9,000 individuals in the cave, as against a total world population of about 20,000. The cold air sinks and, having no lower entrance through which to escape, fills the cave's massive passages. If this natural cold air trap were to be breached at an elevation lower than the entrance, cold air would flow out, thus destroying the cave as a vast bat hibernaculum. Subsequent investigations extended these numbers to 28.28 mapped miles (45.50 kilometers) and 519 feet (158.2 m) of depth. From the 1940s, when exploration of Hellhole began, to the 1980s, cavers had mapped approximately 8.5 miles (13.7 km) of passage in the popular Hellhole system.
