Yes, I've been to some impressive ones. With a boat too. Also a cave that was open on top, not with the usual formations. Those were when I was a kid. Last one was in Hungary this spring, there was an area inside the cave called "Concert Hall" because it was formed like a theatre.
There once was this cave named Luray Whose beauty just blew me Away 😍 Wish on a full Moon 🌕 I could visit real Soon And hear those stalagnotes all Day!
[i]While entranced in the caves of Luray, Pat Kirby encountered one day, A DREADFUL old troll Who appeared — straight from Sheol — And frightened poor Patrick away.[/i] 😳
@Joshua19842022 I mean I was with others. All the flashlights off, maybe the deepest darkness I'd ever experienced. But yeah...like literally a mountain an inch above your head.
@Punxi I would love an adventure like that I was out fishing on the river once by myself at night and I looked back in the woods and I saw all these sparkles on the weeds and was amazed by it but confused so I started to look and realized it was thousands of spider eyes reflecting back at me...it was tim to leave lol
Maybe some spelunker can tell me what cave I crawled through with my parents, as a child.
We crawled through the Orange squeeze, and then the Lemon Squeeze, and my mother couldn't make it through the lemon squeeze, and then we were in a large cavern with wooden planks as a walkway.
When I was a kid Mom would take us into the coulees just north of the farm and we would go saskatoon picking. After a couple of buckets of saskatoons were gathered we would get bored and go exploring. One time we found a cave in the side of the coulee bank and inside it we found the remains of an old moonshine still. I guess it was cheaper to buy the good stuff once it became legal again and likely safer.
Yes one in Nebraska. And “Robber’s Cave” in Oklahoma. It isn’t a real cave but a couple of boulders that are together big enough to shelter someone from rain.
@Joshua19842022 yeah in southeastern Oklahoma. Jesse James ventured down here in Oklahoma. I lived in northwestern Missouri and that was his stomping grounds. He robbed a bank in a little town that I had lived in and rode through the village getting away where my grandpa later lived.
I will never forget witnessing the beauty of Natural Bridge Caverns near San Antonio as the guide took us through the tour. The splendor is unforgettable!
@Joshua19842022 I'm sure the acoustics echo big time. When I went they turned off the lights for a few moments and it was so pitch dark you couldn't even see your hand one inch in front of your face.
@Joshua19842022 I believe they stopped that practice as rumor has it that a woman's chihuahua passed away in her arms when they turned the lights back on.
yep, these are several caves/caverns, etc. around the Appalachians, some barely big enough for a person, some the size of a cathedral, some with underground lakes hundreds of feet deep
@SW-User that scene in True Grit with the girl falling into the den of rattlesnakes, I think about that when anyone mentions going into abandoned mines or caves
