Sorry if that wasn’t clear. I’m honestly curious how “spelunking” got to be such a popular word.

I have gone to a couple lava flow caves and went to one in Central Oregon that I had to crawl through a tiny hole for about 5-6 feet not too bad but it opened up to this amazing little geode room thing…out of the ten of us only 4 of us went in there it was terrifying but worth it…turning off your flashlights in caves is something else!!!
Dude that sounds awesome!! I’ve explored one small cave in NY with some coworkers – was sort of tricky to get into, you had to go in sideways leading on your back, but it opened up into a big room with a way to climb further down a bit. I have some friends who were way more into it, had the gear, made maps, researched living things they found inside, etc, but I didn’t get into it at the time.
That thing about going further when others stay back-- or the feeling of turning off the lights and waiting for your eyes to adjust but still you can’t see anything – pretty cool!
Someday I’d like to go to Mammoth in KY or one of those caves in NZ with the glow worms!
You do this whole thing and never once tell us the super secret proper word for spelunking…
Disregard saw your other post…it’s called caving…
