I just realized why the sound of your voice sets off nostalgia in me. You sound like one of the narrators on Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom (at least from my childhood memories you do.) Sunday evenings, my siblings and I would dutifully come inside and take our baths at 6 pm. If she could afford it, it was our one day a week Mom would treat us with TV dinners. By 7 we were on the floor in front of the TV with our meals watching Wild Kingdom. After that came Daniel Boone. At 8 came the main show, Wonderful World of Disney. Then bedtime (if we hadn't fallen asleep by then). I realize I've just seriously dated myself. 😄 Things weren't simpler or better then. Just different, with memories softened by time.

That was a very cool cave! I think those bones were catfish and maybe turtle. Not sure of the skull tho. Loved the barefooted climbing shots! Hated watching you explore a cave bare footed and alone. Dude! One does not simply walk into Modor! Protect your feet and bring an adventure buddy to play Jim Fowler to your Marlin Perkins (Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom reference). I will watch you explore more caves or cool nature spots, if you're so inclined. Give Leon a shrimp for me!

This was known as the narrows at that time and I understand it was some of the roughest white water in the state. This general area was home to a large native american population for hundreds if not thousands of years.

Brilliant camerawork and both the diving & exploring the cave came with risks.

Totally off the subject....you have a nice voice - easy to listen to. Have you thought of reading audio books on KZread? That cave is so cool, but I'm terribly claustrophobic.

I have been following Leon but today decided to check this out; I love caves. Anyway, first I saw the snake and the next thing was your bare feet climbing the cliff!! 😱 Nooooo!

Curious if you noticed any potential shaping of the rocks/boulders around the cave or cliffs (some seem quite blockish and cut)? I live south of here in Georgia, and I often hike around a flooded lake area which has definite Native American ruins along the previous creekside (rock walls, rock mounds, and possible structures). I've begun to believe it is a far more extensive settlement as many of the rocks I thought were natural now appear placed as I continue to look at it. I'm trying to learn more, and this led me to your helpful videos! Thanks!

_-Yeah you posted again. Ooh I'm starting to get anxiety and dizzy.-_ 😃

I’m glad you went into that cave, because I’d be freaking out. Nope nope NOPE. LOL very cool though. Hope you can find out what the pointy bones were that you weren’t familiar with.
