the sound of water...


In Tennessee there is a cave known as Ruby falls.
The person who discovered it
found the opening, while digging a shaft into the mountain.
The opening was
only 18 inches tall.
18 INCHES!!!! Go get a ruler and see how small that really is! 
He decided to crawl into that opening
and see what was in there. It was pitch black with nothing but a small light.
He crawled on his stomach for 8 hours until he found the cavern
where there was a waterfall in the middle of the mountain. How many of us would have the
strength to do what this man did back in 1928?After another 8 hours 
he found his way back out.
An interesting fact is that down that deep in the mountain
there are no insects and the temperature is always
a cool 60 degrees.
