If you're a Viet Nam Vet this may interest you - World's Largest Cave

I bet you I walked over top of this thing 100 times ...

Actually its a little hard to say where it is from the article, and I suspect they wanted it that way.  My guess is its a lot closer to the coast than the Article implies.  Astoundingly beautiful.

Wow!  I'm no Vet, but that is still very cool.  I envy those people who get a chance to explore places like that.  We have plenty of cave here in Georgia, but I haven't ever had a chance to go check them out yet.  Hopefully I will someday.

It is in this area  http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Phong+Nha-Ke+Bang+National+Park&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=48.77566,78.310547&ie=UTF8&hq=Phong+Nha-Ke+Bang+National+Park&hnear=Phong+Nha-Ke+Bang+National+Park,+Quang+Binh,+Vietnam&z=11

I have been in the neighborhood. Frequent navigational errors sometimes caused accidental incursions. Perhaps the Caves had magnetic deposits in them.

But we were boys, and boys will be boys, and so they will. To us, everything was dangerous, but what of that? Had we not been made to live forever?
