Share a photo of your adventures inside a cave. It could be a tour-guided cave or even a wild cave.

This is a rock formation (person by it for scale) located within the Illinois Caverns State Natural Area near Waterloo, Illinois.
 
These are some pictures from a seldom visited private cave in Indiana

Wow, nice flowstone! I'm looking forward to going to Illinois Caverns.
 
Vertical caving in HNF before the caves closed.

Augustin Squeeze, in Split Rock Hollow SNF. It's not a solution cave but I think it counts!

Not exactly caving, but this was noticeable from a trail in Big South Fork TN. Pretty cool when it wasn't marked on the map, or expected.

There is a feature like this on Stoneface Trail in the Shawnee. I have always wondered if it was an old mine. That's what it looks like to me.
