However, I wouldn't go spelunking if you held a gun to my hide. It's not claustrophobia, it's the idea that I'd get stuck or lost.
When I was 14 I went spelunking with my cousins just outside of Gainsville Fla. who lived in the area
Along with us also went my mother and sister (then 7)
Nothing but a hole in the ground from the durface. then went down and crawled through the mud like a snake through a tube like tunnel about the size of a main sewer line for I'd say about 20 yards untill we entered a room of about 30 yards wide in each direction with about a 10 foot ceiling and had what best can be discribed as a small pond at one end.
There were several other tunnels leading in various directions. most of thm leading to a dead end or collapsed section wut others leading to other smaller rooms.
I still have the fossels I dug out of the walls that day.
Fascinating trip. But a pretty dumb move now that I look back at it ranking right up there with Climbing the back face of Seneca Rock West Va without use of any ropes or gear other then a stick with a hooked end I found to help me up.
Or canoeing the upper Delaware in pitch black darkness (Amazing trip overall though and getting to within 10 feet of a Bald Eagle in the wild made it all worth it)
But its one of those things I can say I did it.
The only real fear I have is jumping from a high place.
I have problems jumping into the water from even 10 feet.
