Spelunking

It's 100 plus degrees out, so we decided to explore some caves and do a little spelunking in the nice 57 degree caves.

This is the "womb room" . You can climb down into it and crawl around in a room the size of a crushed car. It is the " claustrophobia test" they make the all day cave expedition cavers go in at the beginning of the tour to see if they can pass. So of course the boy was the first to volunteer to go down it. His sister wasn't far behind. Once the boy found out there is an all day adventure tour he asked how old you have to be. Our guide told him 8. He told her he would be 8 in two weeks and will come back after that to do it.

This is the lucky touch stone that you need to hang onto to round a slippery corner. It has been worn smooth by the oil from peoples hands. There are several slick spots where the water pools on the cave floor.

This is called the Buddha crystalline.
