Caving is so much fun but you got to respect the enviroment.If you take it in take it out.Stay out of caves in the winter and play safe in the summer.I may be new to this type of adventure like some of you guys,and like you guys we give it respect play fair and come back safe

iv been in a cave called moaning caverns...they turned the lights off and you cant even see your hand 2inches from your face! they say that if you fall in a cave like that your pupils are soo dilated that when you come back up your pupils literally pop. and you become blind.
