About 10 years ago, I went with a couple of friends to Roaring River and spent the day inside the caves enjoying the water. I thought a few people might like to actually see what the inside of the caves look like.
Soon after entering the caves, my good friend and guide took us to a chamber where a make-shift band was playing Mento music. They drummed on the limestone formations using some to make a deep bass sound and others forming stalactites to sound like a xylophone.
My friend Mary and I took turns lying in the massaging stream while the other entered a darkened cave through a semi-underwater passageway for a personal healing massage.
The labeled "bottomless water hole" is actually about 250 feet deep according to a couple of scuba divers who explored the caves.
The water was quite cold but refreshing compared to the near 90 degree day we went.
I could have stayed there for hours but it was time to move on as we had a meeting with a Faith Healer outside Darliston.
This old tree (I believe a cottonwood) was a favorite seat to visit with my friends. BTW, we saw no evidence of bat guano or bats anywhere in the cave area we explored although the caves do extend for many miles with multiple entry and exit points so it might be possible.
Hope you enjoy the pictures.
Peace and Guidance
