Caves of Adullam (This was one of my favorite places.)
Made of limestone-type rock. Narrow tunnels. Upward and downward turns. Open into caverns. Mostly crouching size. Used by people in hiding. Mainly from soldiers (because the couldnt crawl through in their armor). David hiding from Saul. (Biblical reference: Psalm 57.)
"April 4: Crawling through the tunnels. Reaching the end. Stepping out of the opening and standing up. Looking to the sky, feeling the breeze. My eyes adjust. I appreciate the sunlight. I had been in the caves for minutes. But they had been in them for days... weeks... months... David and his men had been in and out of them for years..."

We thought we were walking through a small deserted city. (Surprise!) We were, in fact, walking over a large underground city.

Sidenote: Acoustics were incredible
