i went caving with POTM on a child-parent adventure group weekend. Not sure how deep is potholing - this was just a regular cave - we needed a rope to go down at one point, but no belay. We couldnt have been THAT far down. It WAS very different from going into a commercial cave - it was like, all dark, and dirty, and hardly anyplace close to flat to stand. I made the requisite number of jokes, like saying XYZZY at one point."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

I've gone caving a few times but there are no caves around my area so I don't go often.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

I'm not impressed with going down 2,000 meters. I'm impressed with coming back up 2,000 meters.
I've only ever gone to public or commercial caves. I've never done any real spelunking. #1, I'm too large at this point. I also get claustraphobic in places that tight. Plus, with my asthma, it could be a recipe for disaster.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

I'm also not a big fan of going down.

I've been caving a few times. Where I'm from in Missouri has quite a few caves scattered around. Fun stuff, if a bit filthy and wet at times
My friend was the pres of the local uni's caving club and knew farmers who would let us enjoy the caves on their land.Comment

We walked through some caves where they filmed one of the monkey king series. There were all these colorful lights to make it look magical and stuff.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect.

In was in one public cave, when all of a sudden a head popped out of a wall, followed by a very muddy teen and some mud. It sorta looked like he was being born. Then another kid came out. Until they appeared, I hadn't even realized there was a hole there. It was quite startling.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

The geology in my neck of the woods is all sedimentry of ignious rocks so there are no real lime stone caves though we do have some mighty big holes in the ground. The old banner mine in the local mountains is historically the second largest gold mine in the state of California and it was opporational from 1870 something to around 1960. In the 19th century we had a gold rush around here so there were lots of people digging all sorts of mines and you can still find them and crawl down them if you want. Some are pretty long.
I've also crawled through some really neat lava tubes out in the Mojave desert. Out by Pisgah Crater the longest lava tube is just short of a mile and there are tons of them just waiting for anyone to walk in and explore. There is one local "cave" up in Hidden Meadows (northern part of the county along the 15 freeway) which consists of a very large pile of boulders (average something like 20 feet around) which a stream has eroded out all the sand between the rocks creating a neat complex of under ground passages. I was last there in 1998 or so and the power company was constructing a fence to block the half dozen openings because some local kids had crawled down there and gotten stuck.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment
