A special Caving trip I wanted to show.

I got as far as the keyhole with the second guy and I had to stop. You guys are out of your mind! All I could think about was however far we go in. We have to turn around and go all that way out again squeezing through those tiny places and my heart was in my throat and I was about to jump out of my skin. Yep I'm claustrophobic for sure. This is the stuff my nightmares are made out of

Thanks for bringing me along on that amazing journey! That's the closest I'll get to that cave tour. I was holding my breath a few times just watching!

[@donna1018]

Wow that was great! And it was nice seeing you, it’s been awhile!

[@Bex-rg8pj]

How nice for you to enjoy this history!

[@StringfieldRidgeFarm]

Nope, I do love going there but couldn’t do that! I’ve been there 4 times. First time when I was 10 (50 years ago) then me and Lee came 3 times. Enjoyed watching!

Thanks Jack. I remember caving in Flint Ridge and Crystal Cave, mostly before the Flint-Mammoth connection. Thanks for documenting Roger, Tom, and all these old cavers.

Really cool! And the history! I looked up Floyd Collins, sad to know he died down in one of the caves way back then, but in his element for sure! I'm definitely not a tight dark space area lover.. I’m way too claustrophobic … but glad you are enjoying every bit of this Jack. You definitely enjoy and serve others with your passion of Caving and in your Career!!

Thanks

[@laurarochester3054]

Mad props to you and your fellow cavers! I had a hard time watching it too. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless

I'm sure it could be a lot of fun, but I can sure go along with tanji, I was getting claustrophobic to watching you guys crawling through those narrow cracks. Definitely not my cup of tea for sure. I'd be short enough of breath and I would not be able to get my full breath to pull myself through.

Tangi here. We can stay above ground and enjoy the sun. LOL!

[@lucretiawrolstad3997]

@@freedomhomesteadky yes ma'am, I'm with you tangi

We just went on a cave tour today. Just amazing how these caves develop. Beautiful. The type of cave exploring in this video is stressful to watch. I commend you for doing that, but what happens if you get stuck? 😬

[@freedomhomesteadky]

Well, first, you never go caving alone. There are always others to help. If you noticed in the video we never pulled or pushed anyone. That’s really how you get stuck.
