Well I have. Just yesterday, in fact! It all happened when we went to Mesa Verde! We decided to go on the Balcony House and Cliffside House tours. Balcony was by far the hardest. There wasn't any one thing that was really strenuous, but overall, it was exhausting. There were stairs, ladders, crevices, and, best of all, tunnels. One tunnel was two feet wide and a little less than three feet tall. Needless to say, I got stuck. I was panicking (yes, that's the correct spelling) before I even tried and I was really panicking when I got stuck. It was terrifying. I literally couldn't move. Most people crawled through on their hands and knees, but I was still too tall and hip-ie for that. So I had to lie on my stomach and attempt to wiggle through. Except I couldn't wiggle. I was legitimately stuck. I finally got my arms out so that I could pull myself through by hooking my arms on the walls, but it hurt haha Once I was out of the tunnel, I was just in a bigger tunnel. I could at least kinda stand up before going through a medium sized tunnel to escape and climb yet another ladder. That part, at the time, was pretty awful. My chest hurt for a little from having so much anxiety but once I was able to cool down and relax, it was actually kinda funny... kinda.
It was really awesome to look around Mesa Verde. There are some really incredible sights to see. The people that lived there amaze me with how they were able to build and develop homes in the sides of cliffs. If you are ever in the area, I highly suggest that you visit here! It's worth the parking and $3 tour fees for SURE!
If you wanna check it out, go here :]
