I was talking about Caves. There is some incredibly beautiful stuff in caves.

I may just boldly go where no man has gone before. Maybe to a galaxy far far away.

I was in one of those underground wonders...

Daaaaa not my style..

Been there. Done that. So has Terry.

Commander.......Our spaceship as landed>

Before I was the Bird Man, I was known as the Cave Man. I have logged several hundred hours total in several hundred caves total. I helped explore and map the largest cave in Tennessee, Cumberland Caverns, with over 35 miles of passages. In 1971, I was the Vice Chairman of the Nashville, TN Grotto, of the National Speleological Society. NSS member # 12039. I still do tame caving. No more climbing down pits with a roaring, icy waterfall pouring over my head anymore.

Cool, Thorn. We went spelunking in New Zealand, black water rafting. Awesome stuff. But guided tours. I've never really explored a cave like I would have liked to in my younger days.

Thorn when did you have time to do all that stuff plus get married and raise a family by time you were 40? Or 30?

Thornius you are the coolest.

I agree, A real asset here. And very fun!

From the age of 13 to the age of 20 I was fascinated by caves. Still am, actually. As a teenager, I spent a lot of my spare time in caves. I married when I was 20 so didn't have the time to spend like I used to, but I didn't mind. Tennessee has the most caves of all the States in the U.S. with well over 2,000 KNOWN caves. Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia combined, make up the largest cave infested area in the world. There are 20 or 30 caves in the city of Nashville alone, including Demonbreun's Cave, where the first white child in Middle Tennessee was born, and a cave discovered in the basement of one of our office buildings when they were building it about 20 or 30 years ago. In THIS cave, they discovered the mummified remains of a Smilodon, or Saber-Toothed Tiger!
I have been with a party that has discovered and at least partially explored 1 or 2 caves, myself. One of those was incredibly impressive......if you like to swim in ice water.

Yow.........Thorn,

No ice swimming for me.. Actually I swim like a rock.

Your life sounds like no other that I have ever heard of......Not a lot of men do all that stuff .
Bet your mom wondered what will he bring home tonite?/LOL

Was your whole family adventurious like that?

My Dad is a Psychiatrist/Musician. My Mom was an Artist/Sociologist, with a strong interest in Quantum Physics. My sister is a commercial Artist and Photographer who was living in England the last I heard. I have a younger Half-brother who is 20 years younger than me. I'm not sure what he does. My Paternal Grandfather was a Banker, Hunter, and Fisherman, and his wife, my paternal Grandmother, was a concert Pianist and soloist with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and tells me she was a Flapper in her youth in the 1920's. All of my family are passionate about music and we all play several instruments.

was there really a saber toothed tiger?

How come your dad the shrink couldn't fix you?


My brother in law is a psychiatrist and he's always wanting use to take tests and figure out what's wrong with us. He told us we have body dismorphic disorder and that we hate men.

There realy was a Saber-Toothed Tiger. Actually, It was not quite a cat. It was related to BOTH cats AND dogs. The correct name for it is Smilodon. Google up Smilodon to find out about it.


ACTUAL SMILODON SKULL

And there really was a Saber-Toothed Tiger Mummified in the cave.
