点评:It’s wild to me that this tour is open to the public. It's probably only legal because the people who make the rules haven't done it. That being said, I LOVED IT AND WOULD DO IT AGAIN 10/10!
The 6-hour crawling cave tour was incredibly challenging - "crawling" doesn’t capture the mix of hands and knees, forearms and bellies, and even snake slithers through tight passages. It’s not just physically tough; it’s mentally demanding too.
We had a really great group that made it through the "tests" (Bare Hole and Hell Hole) without any issues, so we were rewarded with Sharon's Lost River and Dave's Lost Sea. 6 hours later when we finished, we were told that our route had all the most difficult options. Make no mistake, this was hard AF.
Our guides were amazing, and despite a few tough moments, the group remained positive and we all came through.
Here's what I wish I knew before: It's going to be harder than you can imagine. It's going to be tighter and smaller than you can imagine. It's going to be longer than you can imagine. You are going to get VERY WET and stay very wet. If you bring a phone, have it in a waterproof case. Don't bring a giant water bottle. There is a water station 1/3 way through. IF you bring a giant water bottle, you will be pushing it in front of you for 6 miles while you're scooching through on your belly. Have someone with you - The people who struggled the most were on the tour solo.
翻译:这次旅行竟然向公众开放,这对我来说简直太不可思议了。它之所以合法,很可能是因为制定规则的人都没做过。话虽如此,我还是很喜欢,而且我绝对会再来一次,绝对10/10!
6小时的洞穴爬行之旅极具挑战性——“爬行”可不是那种手脚并用、前臂和腹部并用,甚至还有蛇在狭窄通道中蜿蜒爬行的那种感觉。这不仅对身体的挑战,对精神的考验也无比巨大。
我们团队非常棒,他们毫无问题地通过了“测试”(裸洞和地狱洞),所以我们获得了“莎伦的迷失之河”和“戴夫的迷失之海”的奖励。6小时后,我们完成测试时,被告知我们的路线包含了所有最难的选择。别误会,这真的太难了。
我们的导游非常棒,尽管经历了一些艰难的时刻,但团队仍然保持着积极的态度,最终我们都挺了过来。
我希望早点知道这些:这比你想象的要难得多。它会比你想象的更狭窄、更狭小。它会比你想象的更长。你会被淋得湿透,而且会一直湿着。如果你带手机,一定要装在防水壳里。不要带大水瓶。三分之一处有个补水站。如果你带了大水瓶,你就得在前面推着它走6英里,还要趴着滑过去。一定要有人陪你——这次旅行中最辛苦的人都是独自一人。
