1. Interesting!

I have been in some abandoned gold mines that were dug into mountains. If you count the incline of the mine and the mountain on top.. I would say a couple hundred feet. Also loaded with bats.

I can't top(?) that but I've climbed many mountains taller than that

3. There is only one place in Alabama above 2000 feet !

Talladega National Forest, Cheaha Mountain is located in Cleburne County about 62 miles east of Birmingham. It's peak reaches 2,407 feet above sea level.

Don't know the height of the mountain above.

6. I don't know how deep they were but I have

driven a semi, in the dark, into the mines at Cairo, IL and a couple places in MO that are used for cold storage. That was a trip.

7. Probably a couple hundred feet in caves, max. I assume you mean vertical depth.

We jumped into a lot of caves including many containing pits during my college years in the Cumberland foothills in Tennessee.
