I have returned. And alas, I am still alive. I made it to the top of the mountain at sunset, as I did not ascend it via any trail. I found many caves, but not exactly what I was looking for. I did discover the area I was searching for. I also found out that the tallest and oldest volcano east of the Missisippi is right next door called Traveler Mountain. It made me think more in connection with Jules Vernes' story.
I believe I am going to return again in a couple weeks. The place is indeed a magical place. A giant granite monolith with boulders upon boulders. The caves I find were nested chasms within the boudler fields. Technically, it seems like you could keep winding down in them but it could get a little scary.
In the pic below, there is a central ravine, the Witherele Ravine which turns into Katahdin Stream. I hiked up this stream then bushwacked my way into the boulder field which can be seen just to the right of the ravine, in the direct dead center of the mountain [in this specific picture]. I then made my way to the top afterwards a little bit to the right of the ravine just at sunset.
I have 8 pictures in total that I thought came out great. I took only 30 pictures this who trip, even though I have a digital SLR, as I have been trying to be much more selective with my shots. You can view them in my album.

However, I am still very confident there is something very unique and intriguing about this mountain that is awaiting our discovery. I saw blocks of granite that were just that, blocks with 90 degree angles meeting at the corners. Granite can cleave like that I know, but there was an eerie feeling about the whole nature of the mountain. Namaste.
