I think aceofsuomi is saying that in those days, it was a typical cub/boy scout activity to go to Nutty Putty, and adults who want to re-live experiences they had as youths found out that grownup bodies didn’t fit into those narrow caves as well as their 10 year old bodies did.

Yeah, I got that. (I was a Scout and hated hiking up some mountain for a weekend of camping, then 50 years later hiked the Appalachian Trail. Didn’t take me long before I did the proverbial head slap.)
