I believe in two things simultaneously: 1. Dinosaurs died out millions of years ago and, 2. Land of the Lost is real and full of dinosaurs (and sleestaks), we just haven’t found the right cave yet.
I recently found a couple of YouTube channels by young guys who regularly do what I wish I could do. I’m terrified they’re going to get stuck in a hole one day, but I can’t stop watching.
As cave crazy as I was, I took on caving as a sport. Just toured a public cavern here and there. (Carlsbad Caverns were impressive, but Sonora Caverns are my favorite).
I used to dream I’d get in shape one day and take that up cave crawling as a hobby. That was before I took an MRI and learned I had claustrophobia. I was like Chuck in Better Call Saul.
Luckily there are some real cave explorers willing to let me tag along.
Show caves like Carlsbad Caverns are about all I can do these days. Someplace where I won’t fall or get stuck.
There are some gorgeous formations in Carlsbad Caverns. Glad I finally went.
Aztec Cave in Franklin Mountains State Park in El Paso. Good hike at any rate.
Aztec Caves are just deep enough to get out of the sun after a rather steep hike.
