It was just another Saturday morning. Then came a text that said "Want to go explore a cave today?" My first reaction was "No, I already have so much stuff to do today." And then my sense of adventure kicked that thought and said "What are you talking about? What else do you have to do that will even compare to something like this?"

We found the cave entrance, which was literally a little hole in the ground. If I didn't know better, I wouldn't have thought that it lead to a huge underground cave!

Once we were all through the entrance, we decided to take a left turn. Wow, was this a small tunnel!

This was fun as we squirmed our way through. It did not go as far as we had hoped and had to turn back. Crawling back up was 10x harder than forging ahead!

This time, we decided to go right. It was much more spacious!

We found a guest sign-in sheet, but it was wet, so we didn't bother filling it out.

Angela found this bone, and we were wondering what it belonged to?!

After a long, wide, but low strip, we came to our "club house."  :)

We also discovered a music room! It's a small one-person space, full of resonating stalactites.

Here is a short video clip of Thad performing on stalactites! I have titled this piece:

"Suspense in the caves of the underwater"

We went

up...



down...



carmel??


Hours after we first set foot in the cave, we had explored it to our heart's content. Angela skillfully guided us back to the mouth of the cave.
