This is fascinating, even if it’s just a coincidence. My husband noted that the mountains near Raccoon City are large enough to have snow caps, but I pointed out there aren’t really any mountains in the Midwest like that, although there are a couple in southeast Missouri that can on occasion in the winter if the weather is right. But they don’t have the large caves there.

Sorry to ramble, I just read the old post you linked to and the comments are shut off there, and I had some random thoughts… 🤣
