 Dr. Bill,

 I am looking for a sign for the word "cave" as in "Mammoth Cave" or "Carlsbad Caverns".  I'm sure there is one.  It just seems to be one of those secret handshake things.
Thank you.

I tend to just spell "CAVE" but if I'm telling a story of some sort I whip out a couple classifier "C's" and show what it looks like.
Note, you only move the dominant hand unless you are describing a very long tunnel that extends quite a distance both ways.

Here is a side view:
