Dead bodies in a cave

Hi kids!

Here's a picture of old Angel Jen descending a staircase into a cave
entrance.

The Bahama islands are what's left of a way ancient volcano. The
volcano came up, then over like millions of years got worn away by
wind and sea. As the volcanic rock wore away coral grew on top of it.
Like for millions of years. Then it rose up again as islands. So the
islands you can see now used to be coral reefs. The rocks on the
island are filled with fossils and made from old coral.

We went to a national park and checked some of these rocks out. This
park had caves which we went down in to see the old rocks and fossils.
The caves had big pools of water in them. The guide said the
underground caverns went for like half a mile. All you had to do was
get some scuba gear, dive in and swim around to see them.

We were like,"No way. We are NOT swimming underwater, underground. Nuh-
uh."

So we just sat and watched the fishes.

The guide said when they explored the caves underwater they found the
bodies of six Lucayan Indians in the bottom of the water. Man, I'll
bet the guy that found them jumped out of his skin! I mean you're
swimming around underwater, under ground, poking around, you turn and
there's some old dead Indian staring at you! Woof!

It was nice and cool in the cave. We ate our lunch there and fed bread
to the fishes. By the way, they like cheddar cheese, too.

There was a second observation platform for the cave, it turned out.
If you continued on the trail it came up around and you could look
down on the first entrance and see the people going down the staircase
into the cave. I was going to stay up there and wait until someone
went in, then, in my best, deepest, scariest old dead Indian spirit
voice say,"Whoooo's enterrrrrring my caaaaaave??" man, I'll bet I
coulda scared them good.

But someone wouldn't let me do it.

Hmmmm....

I wonder who that would be.

Any ideas?
