RE: IFC Finals - First Round results and tie breakers.
Going to be another tough one. Graffiti, not something I see a lot of in Alaska, but I think I know where to find some if it has not been painted over yet. A cave, now that is going to be real hard for me to find? Would a tunnel count? I have always wanted to do a trip to whittier through the tunnel, but it is not really a cave. Can I dig like a tiny cave? The only close caves I can think of are up in Sutton and those are mostly mineshaft type things, Oh well, I will think about it. Maybe a glacial crevice. Hey one good thing about this item, It will give @jbreheny a reason to go visit the Mt Rushmore caves.
Hey bashadow! Indeed. I wanted it to be less time consuming, BUT.. I didn't want it to be easy. So it will still be difficult, hopefully. Heh. To answer your question, a tunnel I think yes would be fine. Digging your own little one I think would also probably be okay. I do want to encourage unique perspectives like that, and as long as we can talk about it before it gets too late in the game, I think it shouldn't be a problem. So yeah.. I think any of those should work, and that's a good point in regards to jbreheny! I'm sure he should be able to find some good caves over there!
Actually.. Lemme look up the etymological definition of a cave real quick.
"cave (n.)
"a hollow place in the earth, a natural cavity of considerable size and extending more or less horizontally," early 13c., from Old French cave "a cave, vault, cellar" (12c.), from Latin cavea "hollow" (place), noun use of neuter plural of adjective cavus "hollow," from PIE root *keue- "to swell," also "vault, hole." Replaced Old English eorðscrafu."
Based on that I think all of your ideas would work! The tunnel or the digging your own little one. Hope that helps! :)
Aha! Good thing you mentioned tunnel is allowed! So I can go to a tunnel somewhere. What if it's an underground passageway for people, it's still a tunnel, right? 😂 An underpass tunnel? 😅😅😅

That's probably okay, the definition is essentially a "hollowed out place in the earth" The older definition implies a "natural" one, but the newer definition does not.. So.. Yeah.. Any hollowed out place in the earth whether man made or not should be fine.
Alright! Hurray! I just need to get to the real things but I've got some back up pics so... Woooh. Will find them tmro.

Actually.. Wait.. Hmmm. It says "natural"....
Lemme look around a lil more, like at the more modern definition and stuff.
Modern definition of cave seems to fit! I think you're okay with the tunnel and digging your own cave ideas you mentioned.
"noun
a hollow in the earth, especially one opening more or less horizontally into a hill, mountain, etc.
a storage cellar, especially for wine.
