Thanks for post this one.   Awhile back I had this to say about that:
I was half way through listening to The Talking Heads song "Once in a Lifetime," from the 1980 album Remain in Light again and realized that I was probably one of the very few individuals who have seen water flowing underground.

When I was about twelve years old I lived in Huntsville, Alabama, "The Rocket City!"   I went on a Boy Scout camping trip with Troop 378 or 379 (I can't remember which), spelunking down into one of the vast limestone caves that cover Northern Alabama.   After a long hike down and going deeper down with ropes a couple of times, we stopped by a fast moving river with the water as clear as glass.   We unrolled our sleeping bags and slept the whole night a few feet from the water in pitch darkness.   "Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground"

Note: Regarding the the Scout Troop, it had grown so big that they had to cut it in half and a successive number was assigned.   I cannot remember if the cave spelunking trip was before or after the split.

I just happened to think that I cannot remember even one person in either scout troop and it more than likely disbanded many years ago.   My family only lived there less than two years.

We live in HSV now. I’ll have to see if this experience is still available. Thanks for sharing it!
