What was your first caving experience like?

Were you scared at all?

What about it made you like caving?
 
Wolf Cave at McCormick Creek State park was my 1st wild cave, it's easy and short. I liked everything about it. My favorite part was where I was ready to turn around at the exit crawl, because it looked horrible, but I heard a guy say he was standing outside! I crawled out and it wasn't that bad.

My first was Round Spring which is a tourist cave that you don't get wet in.

I liked it a lot.

Illinois Caverns is the wildest one I've been in and I really enjoy it!
