47. Carvings in a cave

Over the summer, as a part of my hikes into the woods I like to go explore caves.  I carved my initials and my friends and it took over a hour.  We found an old railroad spike to use.  Hopefully the carving was deep enough to stay but its fun to go into caves that are completely pitch black inside with no lights.

I always get some type of rush of adrenaline when I am in a cave with no lights on.  Some caves you can hear the bats inside.  The echos fascinate me too.  I can whisper inside the cave and my voice is as loud as if I was talking normally.  I find it relaxing to be around nature inside caves.  I can explore and be alone.  It allows me to clear my mind and it is very peaceful.
