took the uly on some twisties dirt/asphalt/creeks to go caving. I love to take the bike out to some of those hard to reach places. had a blast.  any other cavers out there? | ||

always wanted to try splunking(sp?) may need to find some places around here to go. Looks like a good time | ||

I used to do some spelunking years ago, mainly in Kentucky and Indiana. Ever heard of Sullivan's Cave in KY? It's a bizarre experience, especially when you camp overnight in the cave. You can really freak yourself out if you're not careful. | ||

Damn man! Next time you make one of those trips....let's load up my Jeep and hit it. I'd love to go explore some of the area caves. | ||

chad, I'm always looking for caving buddies. I try not to cave with less the 4 people. I have a group of friends but not everyone is always available all the time. there are over 9000 caves in TN. 2 nice ones are in nashville! you know where 96 and 70 intersect near center hill lake? that is were the pic was taken. wanna go on the next trip? I can email you the details. | ||

Fat guy in a little cave,,, yeah there are some tight spots, but there are also some big rooms underground. this is under fall creek falls "the rumble room" Those little specs are people.  (Message edited by barker on August 25, 2008) | ||

So what happens if everyone else makes it through a hole, it's the only way back and then you get completely stuck? Do they withhold water and food from you until you lose enough weight to get unstuck or do they hit you in the head with a rock and then cut you into small enough pieces to clear the hole?  I just don't get the allure of caves unless they are full of gold or diamonds or I'm waiting out Armageddon with its subsequent radiation levels on the surface. Once the rad levels come down, I'll go completely Mad Max with the ULY and my Kabar. After seeing "The Descent" it fortified my dislike of the underworld.http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi2810904857/ | ||

Chad you're too big for caving.  | ||
| Barker |
he could fit in the rumble room. getting to the rumble room is easy. climbing the rope out of there is not. climbers climb rocks, cavers climb ropes. honestly I'm more of a "horizontal" caver. | ||
| Chadhargis |
Yeah....climbing that rope would be a PITA. I've repelled quite a bit, so getting INTO the cave would be easy. However, I'd need someone who could dead lift 200lbs to get my ass back out.  | ||
| Red_chili |
I've repelled quite a bit... Is it your disagreeable nature, or the need to shower more?  I've rappelled only when I was in college. I guess I will content myself to look at y'alls pictures. | ||

| Chadhargis |
There ya go! Hey Barker....can you get your buddies at the National Guard to air lift me out? | ||
| Barker |
I dunno if you want that. They have got really good @ making sure people don't go in or out of caves. (Afganastan) |
