Underground Caves

[Cindy]

Guys, one of the people who called me wanted a cave to take the kids to so she could show them a cave. The qualifier being she didn't want them to get too wet or muddy! I suggested Florida Caverns State Park tour but she was hoping we had "opened" something like that here in town. They had seen the Natural History Museum and made the mistake of thinking caves would be just like that display only bigger! They don't know.

I can remember when someone took in a "wild" cave for the first time. He asked me if I knew how to rappel. He didn't ask if I could climb. My one two hour class I had done rappel and then ran up the stairs. We went into the cave, caved for a couple of hours and when we got back to the rope hanging down from the roof of the cave I asked our guide "OK, now where do I get out!" The funny part was the man with us didn't know how to climb either since he had been asked him the same question. John learned to rappel in a tower! Neither of us had any context to know what would happen. We were lucky our guide was able to give us a quick climbing lesson and we managed to get out. It could have been a really bad deal. Our guide could very well have fallen over his long white beard and broken his neck, John and I would still be there trying to figure out where the stairs where!

Long white beard eh...that wouldn't be the same guy who says the cave is a short 20 minute walk that winds up taking the better part of 2 hours to get to would it? Then again, what better way to learn than through necessity

You're bringing up my SECOND adventure in caving thanks to the elf! Let's see, I was sitting on a ledge with no rope listening to my cave buddy fall!
I never did charge him for that great ride home on the floor of my van I gave him! Cindy

That's very clever of you Ozzy. Sneaking around on the CDF trying to milk us for info on Caves in an effort to replenish you supply of edible Bats. I've always been a big fan but this is just shameless. I do realize that Snowmobile accident has probably left you with a beast of a concussion but this is just awful and unbefitting of YOU the Prince of Darkness. I love wild Bats and I for one will not be a part of this chicanery. I would suggest you send your lovely wife Sharon out to Madame Kai's for some takeout as I understand that she uses only farm raised bats. They are meatier too.
Until then...Rock On!!!!

P.S. You look younger in the avatar pic than you did on MTV. Skinnier too. No one could ever convince me that an all Gin diet isn't healthy.

ROTFLMAO!!
