Jerry Summers: Leo Lambert - What A Spelunker! Wednesday, March 17, 2021 - by Jerry Summers Jerry Summers Having lived in the Chattanooga area close to 75 years and knowing of the commercially successful and famous Ruby Falls, and to a limited extent its original companion cave Lookout Cave, lesser-known facts have been discovered recently by me. Leo Lambert (1895-1950) was a chemist by trade but his main passion was discovering and exploring the vast network of limestone caverns existing underneath us in our area as part of the Cumberland Plateau.  Unfortunately, his quadruple adventures into Lookout Cave, Ruby Falls, Nickajack Cave and Raccoon Mountain Caverns came along during the era of the Great Depression and he was deprived of the opportunity to reap great financial wealth from his expertise and knowledge about the natural abysses in Southeast Tennessee.
