Worse than passing gas... Many moons ago when the earth was still cooling and access to caves like Whirlpool was had for nothing more than a secret handshake, (and I had bad, bad habits which I would never repeat these days) - Myself and a companion went as far up the extent of that cave we knew of to a 'dig' area with mounds of soft calcite sand where we took a break, drank a couple of celebratory beers and "partied" for a while in deep dark - "wow, man" - of the cave. As we exited, we noticed that we had proceeded beyond the large amount of smoke we had created back there - but if we stopped, it'd catch up with us again. Interesting phenomena. The cave was breathing outward and we had a "marker" in the air. As we got into the Travis County room - we encountered a group of FIRE DEPT and LAW DEPT officials on a rescue training mission! Not tarrying - we quickly exchanged small talk and fake names as we exited the cave in anticipation of the deadly smoke that was coming from behind us!
