caving
long and not really that interesting.

my first experience with true dark was when I went caving and after traveling into the deep bowels of the cave, the group i was with stopped and formed a circle. after the circle was formed we all turned of our lights and we were plunged into pitch black, I couldn't even see my own hand in front of my face, and as the group quited down we began to hear the sounds coming from the cave the tiny plick plop plick plop coming from all around as the moisture condensed on the roof and dripped onto the cave floor to mix with the mud (which we were told was so full of minerals that you could scoop it of the floor and plaster it on your face and it would be better than one of those cleansing face masks) and after about 10 minutes of pure quite bliss in the dark we slowly turned the lights back on and headed back home.
