Cave Expedition : Deep Underground Passages Lead To A Surprising Discovery

  • This cave floods to the ceiling during heavy rains. We will soon discover why this happens. Our group descends into the lower level of this cave and enters a muddy stream that we must crawl through. Finally, we come to a hole in a rock wall that is not passable by humans, but the stream disappears into the hole's depths. After heavy rains, all the water that courses through this cave must go through this small hole. This is the reason the cave becomes a death trap if a sudden thunderstorm pops up while you are deep inside the cave.
    As always this is a how to metal detecting outdoor adventure vlog that is family friendly and hopefully a fun video.
    About Aquachigger:
    I like to make videos that promote my lifestyle of outdoor adventure, metal detecting, yapping, searching for river treasure, SCUBA diving, exploring abandoned places, hiking, caving, caring for animals and pets, and observing the things outdoors that often go unnoticed. I keep my CZcams "Aquachigger" channel family-friendly and hope you subscribe if you like my style.
    I hope to see you guys out there!

    I never realized that some caves could be like this one. I'm accustomed to seeing the kind you just walk into where there are drifts and different passageways that you can enter. I wouldn't enjoy doing this one with all the sliding down and squeezing between the rock walls. It's much better that you did it and I could just tag along and watch from behind the screen. Good job, Chig!

  • @MrKmoconne
    @MrKmoconne Před 22 dny

    You and I are about the same age Beau and it's a testament to your fitness that you can still crawl a cave. It's exhausting. I use to go on cave trips with my brother's National Speleological Society group in the Indiana region, back in the 1970s. I quit because I became claustrophobic and I decided I liked trees and sunshine more than cold stone. The camaraderie of cavers though, is top notch. Breakfast at a diner, before the going into the cave is the best.

    Thanks for taking me caving Chigg. I haven't been since sometime in the early nineties. Sinks of Gandy. I'd love to do a tourist trip somewhere, but at seventy, and with some health problems, I guess I'll just armchair cave along with you. Again thank you. I can feel the damp and mud, and the aching muscles, and satisfaction of a good little cave.

    When you came here did you ever go to Cheddar? Went into the caves with my parents and their friends many many many years ago as a kid and I was terrified. Dads friend said to me ' don't be scared these caves are donkeys years old' which caused me to become hysterical because in my mind the older they were the more chance they would collapse on top of me!
