I actually like small spaces, but not heights.  Caving usually involves 
rappelling down into the unknown...not good for someone afraid of 
heights.  I do enjoy the show caves though.
I've never been caving...I was going to back when we were homeschooling. 
 By chance, we found a group that was going into a wild cave up near 
Cloudland Canyon. It was part of Outdoor Adventure Weekend at the state 
park.  I suited up, but chickened out before I even got in the cave. 
Both kids did go and both said it was awesome.  I sat and waited for 
them for a couple of hours..nervewrecking...
