![]() MY RETURN TO NUTTY PUTTY CAVE - The first time I ever went to the Nutty Putty cave was when I was 9 years old. Back then I was about 100 pounds smaller, and had a whole lot more energy. I remember scrambling through the tiny 1 foot in diameter passages like it was nothing. At one point, my father was holding my legs while I dangled off the edge of a drop taking pictures of the formations, and our friend Kermit Mckinney was holding his legs as he dangled off also. This time, I was 15 years old, 100 pounds bigger, and a whole lot less energetic (well sort of, no I still had energy). When I got home from school on Wednesday, my dad called me into his office, and I immediately thought, “what did I do now?” But when he called me in he asked if I wanted to go to the Nutty Putty cave that day. So we left the house at about 3:00 and got to the cave at like 4:10ish. The Nutty Putty cave is on the top of a hill, and driving a mini-van you can’t exactly go off-roading. ![]() So we parked at the bottom of the hill and hiked up, which took about 10 minutes. One showed the opening of Nutty Putty Cave. As we approached the cave, we saw that the gate to the Silly Putty cave, which is near by, had been ripped off of the entrance. The Nutty Putty cave was sealed and permanently closed after the accident. The GPS coordinates for the cave entrance are N40 05' 51, W112 02' 13. ![]() Then we finally found the nutty putty cave, a big gaping hole in the ground. The man who discovered & named nutty putty cave had advocated to seal off. It brought back lots of good memories of going there, it made me even more excited to get in there. My dad climbed down the ten foot hole in the ground to the entrance first, Then I went down. said the entrance to the cave was sealed off. Down in the hole there was a five foot by five foot room of hard wet rock and a breeze floating out of the cave(it smelled a whole lot better than before, when I went last time when it smelled like pee). The mouth to the Nutty Putty Cave in Utah County, Utah, was sealed with concrete after a 26-year-old man died in the cavern, an official said. In the room there was me and my dad, I had to turn around and dive into the little hole in the rock like I was jumping off of a diving board.
