I joke that when I go on vacation, I go into the cave. This time, I literally did. The whole family went 600 feet under the ground. Did I ever mention I am claustrophobic?
My father would be so disappointed in me -- he could probably tell you which cave that was just from the picture. He's been in just about every "navigable" hole in the ground between Gadsden, Knoxville and Atlanta, and drug -- I mean let me go along -- on lots of those trips. Some of my best memories from childhood are clouded with trying to remember the difference between stalactites and stalagmites. :)
I do fine on the cave tours, but don't think I would do so well as a true spulunker, crawling through spaces just big enough to get through that far underground. Uuuuuugggghhhhhh!

Stalactites are what come out of your nose.
