    About this ebook

    In 1984, while visiting relatives in Tennessee, they told me of their water supply, a pump house at the base of a large hill where they pumped water from a cave lake located below. A previous owner had used cinder blocks to block the entrance to a cave in the side of the hill and built a small dam to back up the stream flowing from the cave. As caving was my hobby, I became very interested and at once wanted to investigate this underground lake. This was too good to pass up. I persuaded one of my relatives, Doc, Lvurn Loftin, to go with me and wait at the entrance while I checked out the cave.
    This is my second most favorite cave, after Pettyjohn Cave. Number three is Tumbling Rock Cave. This also concludes my memoir up to 2008, I have now retired again for the last time (2018). I hope to add more experiences in the coming years as the Lord leads me into new phases of this this life here on earth. In three more years I will turn eighty. God has blessed me with a long and happy life. I hope to share more of it with you in the coming months.

      Without a dream we have nothing. What is life but a dream and being able to put a little bit of it to work. Hubert H. Crowell.

      Preface

      Growing up just seems to happen, there is no stopping it. We get older each day. Along the way we have experiences that keep coming back and replaying in our minds over and over again. At some point in life a lot of us will have the urge to write about them. I don’t know if my life is much different than all the other men who grew up in the 50’s and 60’s, but I would like to share it with you anyway.

      Some people say that we are who we are because of our environment and genes, but things have happened to me that lead me to believe that there is a something more directing our lives on this small planet. There are connections that are hard to explain. Connections with the people we meet and the places we live and visit. When I paused and looked back on my life I found lots of things that seemed divinely directed. A lot of them were not necessary about me, but about others and I only played a small part in it. For example, when writing this book I knew that I needed someone to proof read it. As I neared completion of the book a new co–worker told me of her previous employment with a publisher and that she had done a lot of proof reading. You could just
