I don't know if you know that, how the caver's are entering, I mean how they find the right place, maybe the way back. It's very tricky, they don't use any at all, any materials, just stones, which means that if they are in a cave where they haven't been before, they just put some stones on each of their-. For example, you can imagine that it's a tighter place and you are on your own where you have many choices, and as I arrive from here, I just put some stones on each of their, maybe you know this way. So it can be bigger. As you are back after many hours, you just look around and you see the place, the right one, where you came from. And in this way you just put back the stones, where you found before and you just go out. And it's good for the cave because it's not another material from somewhere; it still belongs to the cave. Before you go in a cave, don't go alone, and don't go without any guide, it's very, very important, it's dangerous.
