I kept digging, and digging until I reached a big dark cave that I lined with torches. I roamed the cave eventually getting lost, but I found lava and DIAMONDS! I was going crazy like wooohooooo yeah awesome diamonds!. I picked up a bucket of lava, and started trying to find my way out. Roamed that cave for 5 hours digging through various places, and then I finally found some sand. I quickly pushed it out of the way, and made my way into the son basking in the delight of my find. Then I realized I had no clue where my house or my spawn was, and started to cry because I knew if I died I would lose all my goodies forever.

sadly that is the life of minecraft... life, cave diving, finding diamonds, getting lost, death... i try to build my house near caves and once i start cave diving i leave redstone torches to mark my way back out
