Did a few long lava tubes in Hawaii, including one with a very tight passage. Having done them, had enough of that.

Went through a large cave system in Kentucky. Had been fully explored, guide knew it very well. Was my last time spelunking though.

Why?

One of the people in the group could not fit through a squeeze because he had a panic attack and could not relax enough to get through. Guide had to take him back out the way we came in. So he put *me* in charge of the group. I was not nearly experienced enough. His instructions were clear though — take every right turn that did not involve squeezes, wait for me in the “window” room where you can see sunlight (that particular chamber was open to the outside — the opening was about 100 feet above the base). After about an hour, he got to us through another passage.

That’s when I quit.

Saw some amazing things down there, though.

PS Cannot remember the name of that cave system. Will have to look it up...
