Background
We have a cave entrance on our property.
Some time back I removed some loose rocks from the opening (reaching in
and also with a shovel) but did not actually go in
(there were some wasps resident there).
I am trying to work on this cave about an hour most days as kind of an
exercise program. The nice thing about exercising inside a cave is that
I don't have to worry about getting sunburned (real problem for me
on a tropical island).
