Someone mentioned the "key cave area" in the post regarding something burning in Florence. Where is the key cave and how did it get its name?

Yes, they're blind Alabama cavefish.
For more information on Key and Collier Caves, as well as their location, you can go here:
Key Cave
the water part is on one side of the cave, and the rest of it is tall and muddy. its as safe as any other cave.quote:Originally posted by moodymama:
I read some more about those caves. I think I might be scared to go in those tight places that have water. Can you stand up in them? I read that you could get permission to go in now and that privilege is given out sparingly.

thats just the nature of the beast. when you are crawling thru a pigeon hole, you know the risk. thats why you leave an itinerary and a map, along with an expected exit time. its got its dangers, but what fun activity doesn't?quote:Originally posted by e:quote:Originally posted by monster:

It is, except for a recent "cave in" (or two or three or several) in the area in the past few years.
