This is one of my favorite stories to tell!!!
Me and my friends were north island looking for a mine. We had searched what felt like all day! I was so upset I just wanted to go underground! One of my friends said we should check out Devil's Bath since we are so close.
We got there looked around , oo'd and aaa'd at the bath. We found a path that took us down towards the river. I was a tad pouting and said, "I just want to go underground already!" My friend pointed to a crack in the rock and said then sit in there. I did and pouted for a bit. Well I was sitting there swinging my feet in the crack I noticed that my feet didn't touch the ground and that I couldn't really see the bottom of the sloping rock I was on. I slid my body down a touch and tried to find the bottom, still nothing. I slid down more and was now just holding on with my finger tips to the rock I was sitting on. I felt like maybe I was touching the bottom, so I just let go! I slid down the rock a couple feet and found bottom. I was not super smart about it and only had a set of string lights with me.
I turned them on and looked around, I was in a sweet cave! I ran on the clay for a few feet and stopped to go back to tell my friends. I got back and yelled up the rock for someone to come and look. One of my friends found me and ran to get everyone else. Pretty soon all 7 of us are in this cave! We walked along follow a small creek that was in there. We followed it to the little lake at the end. Everything was clay in the cave, we were slipping and sliding all over the place! We could see a tunnel on the other side of the lake and wanted to cross it but there was a large wall of clay that stopped us from getting the by crossing the creek. I tried to kick my feet into the wall to get a hold but I just slid down.
My friend was going to swim across, but we wanted to find out how deep it was first. We tied a waterproof flashlight on my 25 foot long string lights and lowered it into the lake. It was deep! We didn't find the bottom.
And the light showed us some deceit sized fish down there. No one wanted to swim after that lol.
After we looked around we all helped each other climb out. As you can see it was a tad muddy down there.
