"We'd probably better try to get some food in these kids," said Julie. "Especially since they need to walk all the way back to the car."
The group took the left fork, and spread out their sandwiches, chips, fruit, and more on the large table rock. As expected, Ollie and Zander took a combined three bites of lunch. Afterwards they packed everything up, took a few more pictures, and headed back the way they had come in.
Jeff was glad to see them when they returned to his waiting spot, and he struggled a bit to scale the wall back out of the cave opening, but otherwise it was a pretty great day.

"So you're going to stay here, Jeff?" asked Jaben. "It's probably a little much to ask you to watch both boys in an unfamiliar cave, especially if you're not at 100%. So we'll keep them with us."
The Chavezes waived goodbye to Jeff and continued through a series of cave chambers, some larger than others, but all easily big enough for all to go on. There were no other people, no bats, no bears, plenty of great photo opportunities...this cave was a truly great find.
After about 15 minutes, they reached a fork in their path through the catacomb. Down the path to the left, they could see another chamber with a large flat stone in the middle. It would be perfect to use as a table for the lunch they had packed.
The visibility was not as high on the path leading to the right, but the sound of rushing water was evident, "It's probably a waterfall," Jaben said.
"We should jump off it!" Julie said impulsively.
"Yeah, jump off it!" Zander chimed in.
"That would be really fun," said Jaben. "But we probably don't have time to do both. Which do you prefer?"

"We eat lunch every day," said Julie, "but we don't get to go chasing waterfalls very often."
After hearing that sound logic, the couple took the fork to the right. From there, the cave narrowed significantly, but still not enough to cause major problems. It was also getting more difficult to see, so Jaben and Julie held each other's hand as they picked their way towards the sound of the water.
After about ten minutes, they reached the narrowest opening they'd come to yet--but on the other side was the waterfall! They wiggled and squirmed their way through the crevice and stood at the water's edge.
After shining their lights down the falls, their best estimates indicated that the falls were short enough and the pool deep enough that they just might not die. The waterfall was also wider than anticipated, so they stood shoulder to shoulder, holding hands, and Thelma and Louise'd it out into the abyss.

"Ooh, baby, let's do the romantic lunch," said Julie.
And so they propped the flashlights between some rocks and spread out their food. Since they'd already been gone for a while, they ate fast, and it really wasn't all that romantic. But it sure was nice to have some time for just the two of them for a change.

"Jeff, if you're feeling like you don't want to go farther, would you mind keeping the kids here with you while Julie and I check this out a little more?"
"Sure," said Jeff. "You guys want to have a snack with your Uncle Jeffy?"
The boys surprisingly agreed, and Julie and Jaben quietly sneaked off while Jeff was getting the snacks out.
They continued through a series of cave chambers, some larger than others, but all easily big enough for for the two of them to move on. There were no other people, no bats, no bears, plenty of great photo opportunities...this cave was a truly great find.
After about 15 minutes, they reached a fork in their path through the catacomb. Down the path to the left, they could see another chamber with a large flat stone in the middle.
"Jeff has the snacks, but we have the lunch," Jaben said. "And we have these two big flashlights. It would be the perfect place for a romantic, 'candlelit' lunch."
The visibility was not as high on the path leading to the right, but the sound of rushing water was evident, "It's probably a waterfall," Jaben said.
"We should jump off it!" Julie said impulsively.
"That would be really fun," said Jaben. "But we probably don't have time to do both. Which do you prefer?"
