Geocache Description:

This is a cache along a country road.  There may not be a lot of traffic but there is traffic at times so please be careful and safe where you stop. Please replace the log and cache exactly as you found it unless it is obvioulsly not where it should be.

Caving also occasionally known as spelunking in the United States and Canada and potholing in the United Kingdom and Ireland is the recreational pastime of exploring wild (generally non-commercial) cave systems. In contrast, speleology is the scientific study of caves and the cave environment.

The challenges involved in the activity depend on the cave being visited, but often include the negotiation of pitches, squeezes, and water (although actual cave diving is a separate, and much more dangerous, sub-specialty undertaken by very few cavers).

In recent decades, caving has changed considerably due to the availability of modern protective wear and equipment. It has recently come to be known as an "extreme sport" by some (though not commonly considered as such by its practitioners, who may dislike the term for its perceived connotation of disregard for safety).
