Post Ted The Caver
Just thought it would be fun to post a link to this...

http://www.angelfire.com/trek/caver/

It is what I would call a "Internet Urban Legend" and I thought it was interesting. Anyone else have links to stuff like this?

Thanks for using up 2 hours of my day! :evil:

Ha! :D That was a fun read. I must admit that it really drew me in. Pretty well written and laid out. I really felt that I was there with him. It drives me crazy though that I can't read more. I guess it served its purpose. :wink:

Really fun read.... spent the whole morning at work reading it :lol:
Pretty intense too. And by calling it an urban legend, is a lot of it fake?

Oh...It's real.

Spoiler!

From what I have read Ted and B did explore a cave and chisel out a cavern. The rest was a creative writing exercise.

That was great, total Lovecraftian feel to it.

I can imagine a good blaire witch style cheap horror movie to.

Great read, very well done! Being somewhat claustrophobic myself, the real exploring parts were already enough to give me the willies...

I wonder if this served as inspiration for The Descent?
