[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 324873, member: 1780"] HAHAHAH! YES! It always seems there's a few good whores in every church group. :****: That Wild Tour is definitely something on my bucket list. The coolest thing is this excerpt from their website about the extensive underground water system there. Prolly churched up a little as a marketing effort, but cool nonetheless. "Throughout the early history there were consistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere deep within the cave, but it was not actually discovered until 1905. In that year a 13-year-old boy named Ben Sands wiggled through the tiny, muddy opening 300 feet underground and found himself in a huge room half filled with water. The room was so large that his light was swallowed up by the darkness long before reaching the far wall or the ceiling. For the rest of his life Sands delighted in describing how he threw mudballs as far as he could into the blackness and heard nothing but splashes in every direction The full extent of the Lost Sea is still not known despite the efforts of teams of divers armed with modern exploration equipment. The visible portion of the lake is 800 feet long by 220 feet wide. Glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors carry visitors onto the lake, which is stocked with some of the largest Rainbow trout in North America. Fishing, incidentally, is not permitted. Beneath the calm waters of the four-and-a-half acre lake divers have discovered an even larger series of rooms completely filled with water.
