-From A Recent Article in Forbes Magazine-

 

“It has all of the good qualities of a cave for living;

For instance, it stays the same temperature all year round,

Maintaining a ‘rock temperature’ between 66 and 72 Degrees.”

 

A Real Estate Agent

 

 

As a man who loves all caves

I’d love to own this cave home

It’s underneath the Arizona desert

A place, I’ve always loved to roam

 

It boasts 2,890 square feet of living space

A huge sunken living room and rock ceilings

Two underground bathrooms and deep closets

Fresh water provided by an underground spring

 

It also includes 37 acres of wondrous desert canyons

I would be able to study the mysterious Ring-Tail Cat

A desert creature, which has intrigued me all of my life

What an added bonus, to reside in its very own habitat

 

I know that my many mangy mutts and I would be in heaven here

Since my spouse often makes all of us, stay down in our basement

Right now, we’ve got a very cool underground Man and Mutt Cave

But having our entire abode down in this cave, would be heaven sent

 

My only problem right now is the $1.5 Million price tag for this Cave House

Mean Tall Woman won’t give me the money to buy this Man and Mutt Cave

If anyone would like to help an old caveman and his dogs return to their roots

Please send a small donation to ‘Mr. Ed’s Man & Mutt Cave Fund’ right away

 

As a man who loves all caves,

I’d love to own this cave home;

It’s underneath the Arizona desert,

A place that I’ve always loved to roam.

 

 

©January 2012, Old Caveman Ed & His Many Mangy Mutts,

Day Dreaming About This Magnificent Underground Camelot

Loved the cave poem! I would like to be the first to donate all of the money needed for this cave. Just follow these instructions from Camelot Inc.
1. Go in the very center of Death Valley. From there find a mutt named Dirty Sally She will guide you with care and to the middle of town called No-where. Once you get there ask Mayor Bankroll for lots of money for your trouble and a year’s supply of dog food on the double. He will pay you with trash in which you can easily turn into cash. Then when you think of a plan to help solve this crazy scheme just remember to wake up from this wonderful cave man pipeline dream.

Maybe it is time to live such a simple life. Only in America what deadly creatures lurk in such a place. The worse we get is wild seagulls.

nice work cav,ed.

The Flintstones and Rubbles finally hit the big-time, eh? I remember the cave-dwellings well, Ed, and I'm sure these must make excellent homes if you can do without all the utilities... those "working" lamps are a joke, right? Otherwise, it's all a bit of a travesty for those who REALLY like their accomodation pitch black and with the walls dripping... !! :)) xx

You can rent my brother's log home for a lot less (it has a cavelike feel to it with a lot more light). And you can roam the desert all you like–just like he does every chance he can get. Besides, Frosty would like your mutts.

My question is: how can they build to underground toilets without messing up that beautiful freshwater spring?
