Exploring the Caves of Machu Picchu

Carved into dun-colored cliffs, hundreds of man-made caves situated next to empty niches that once sheltered giant Buddha statues destroyed by the Taliban are home to Bamiyan's poverty-stricken who have nowhere else to go.

Venturing the Caves of Machu Picchu begins in brief darkness. And for a moment you think there's nothing until you see the rocks. Most caves can be seen in the daytime and with enough light around at night.

Change may come to ice caves after fatal collapse Ice Caves after a collapse killed a woman earlier this month. A crucial phone line may be on the way. On July 6, Thomas Hoffman was the first to call 911. However, it was a 45 minute ordeal for him to make that call. “We went down the trail, stopping by every group coming up seeing if they had cellular reception,” He said. “Nobody did.” Eventually Hoffman hopped in the car and raced in search of cell reception. Before he got any bars, he came across a land line at the Verlot Ranger Station about 15 miles from the caves. It was 40 to 45 minutes after he first set out to get help. Hoffman has heard talk about perhaps shutting down the ice caves following this most recent fatal collapse. He hopes a proposed plan by the Forest Service to install a new land line about five miles from the caves at the Silverton campground will prevent them from closing. “A phone seems like a fantastic compromise if we can get it pretty close to the,” Hoffman said.

Turning around you can see from beyond the waterfall.

If you're the introvert, this cave is for you!

The further you get, you enter another world filled with a quiet beauty.

Had to dig this hole to get out. Most of the time there are no exits in underwater caves.

USA Soccer lives here

Venture far out beyond the regular borders of the Planet of Cubes and you'll find some surprises like the ones below:

USA, USA logos, planet of cubes online gameplay, planet of cubes pictures

I found this first - USA in bold red brick in the middle of the ocean. With no one around I figured why not get a shot?

USA Soccer, USA Womens Soccer, soccer fields, planet of cubes, planet of cubes gameplay, planet of cubes online

Then I saw this - a soccer field in the middle of nowhere, making me speculate that obviously these two structures are connected - you know, USA Soccer! The creation is just magnificent and lights up at night with a few torches, you know, for that late night game...or the one that goes into overtime.

Yeah, so who died?

So yeah, who died? -- I ventured into the Mighty Trees area Tuesday and came across this grave. I'm not sure who this represents, but rest in peace indeed. Obviously the creator the grave had someone in mind they were reflecting on and came up with this memorial inside Planet of Cubes. What do you think? Have you ever done this? It's a different take in grieving the loss of a loved one indeed - But if gaming and real life mirror one another, what of it? Rest in peace.

Island Mysteries

Because I'm a lover of good mysteries, if you venture out onto the smaller islands in Planet of Cubes, you'll come across things like this: A Giant Girl, and random words. What I'm beginning to discover as I travel around this world is that there were many players who designed various things and for whatever reason just left them.

It could be attrition - the fact they may have moved on to different things, or maybe they're somewhere else on the board making more statues and words. Needless to say this mystery left me looking all over, wondering what "Close" was in reference to, and if the giant girl had any relatives standing nearby.

If you're looking for places to focus all of your attention onto good sunsets and wonderful nights, consider the outer, more smaller islands. I was definitely surprised at what I found, and it made for an enjoyable gaming experience. The opportunity for adventure is indeed infinite, and who knows, maybe I'll come across your Planet of Cubes creation one day - only time will tell.

But if you do have one, leave me your coordinates in the comments below and I'll go check it out! It would be my pleasure!
