Back to the Cave

At the end of May, shortly after I got back from Thailand, Reg and I went to visit our cave. It's still as beautiful as ever. And just as muddy. The entrance is eroding away, which is actually good because it means we don't get AS wet as we used to. On the downside, a lot of gravel seems to be building up on the lower (wet) end--the end we were hoping would eventually open up into more caves.

We both ventured down the hole that we once hoped was a lead to a new part of the cave. It still doesn't go anywhere but we like to check it out anyway. It is a tight squeeze with solid rock above you, rocky mud beneath you and rocks on either side of you. And it's at an angle so you have to inch your way back up to get out. There is one part which is REALLY tight. We jokingly called it the "birth canal". It's a good place to try out your claustrophobia. The picture doesn't do it justice.

And the last picture shows some of the flowstone. Ya it's a real cave with active stalagtites and flowstone. I still find it hard to believe that Reg and I were the first ones to ever see it.
