Reminds me of the enormous room in Borneo that is so large a small airplane flew into it. Here in the USA, the largest room is in Tenn. called Camps Gulf. Interesting, I didn't know that! You probably have a working knowledge of those guys that started in a small cave somewhere around Cave City, KY and ended up in the what was then the dining room in Mamouth Cave. Really interesting (to me) story. Friend of mine was an avid kayaker but was unfamiliar with N. FL rivers. *He took his kayak down the Aucilla River *from US27 planning to go all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. *Everythin went fine until the end of the second day when the river came to a stop. *It just ended. *Well, he had heard of rivers in these parts going underground for a short ways and then coming back up so they got out and carried their boats a short distance to where it came back up. *Then it did it again, then again and he gave up. *This river goes underground 23 times. Yeah it's pretty cool. One time a few years back, a team actually mapped paths for several underground rivers in Florida using sonar (I think). The areas that were short enough runs teams of divers with cameras went in. I'm going to look for that, I'm not sure now if it was National Geo. or who. |
