This was the Wild Cave tour, 6.5 hours long and was an awesome tour!!!  If you do not like small tight places, or your chest or hips area bigger then 42", this tour is not for you! In one area the ceiling was only 9 inches high and I could not even turn my head, it was so tight. See photo #80, the guys boots are even too long to go straight up and down. Believe me, it was tight is some places! Oh did I say it was also nice and cool in the low 60's! 350 miles of caves, and we covered 5 1/2 miles so they say, didn't feeling it, but if it was I was having too good of a time to even think how much we traveled. Have to go back and check out some of the other caves in this place. I was lucky to get on this tour since the only take 14 people and good idea to book in advanced if you want to do this tour.

The pictures here cannot even describe how awesome this tour was. 95% of the caves we where on have no lights in them, and your little head light was the only light you had. The camera could not even show you the depth of the caves.

Photos where taken all in 7 mg pix with a Sony DSC-V3, pictures here have all been reduced in size for the web.
