[Re-Request] Massive "Waterfall Challenge"-esque Cave System

I posted this about 4 months ago and didn't get much attention; the interest is back and I thought I'd try again now that 1.7 came out and changed seed generation. The following is the original post.

There needs to be easy access to a very large cave system. There will be little mining going on, so things that you need to dig 27 blocks to get to aren't really right. Something that you can spend days exploring, getting lost in, etc. A mineshaft or stronghold intersection is a welcome addition, albeit it'd be nice if they weren't right around the corner from the entrance. Dungeons are also a big plus. Ravines, on the other hand, while they can expose many different branches, are usually way more trouble to navigate than they're worth. They can exist, but I'd prefer not to have some crazy quad-ravine seed.

The point of this type of seed is to go underground and survive. Build a shelter, grow crops by torchlight, and always carry a sword because mobs can turn up anywhere, anytime. I've been looking but so far any cave system I find has been... mediocre at best. So I'm just looking for a little help, because I want a place I can actually explore.

Remember the point of the challenge is to go underground and live there. So whatever is on the surface doesn't actually matter because I'm not going back up. Even an ocean spawn can work, although I'll need to cheat/creative a few things in like seeds and saplings to get going that way.

Thanks in advance if you have anything.

You might try this one.

There is a large cave system near spawn that I have been exploring, and eventually takes you down to bedrock. However, the entrance is via a ravine. I believe there is another entrance somewhere, but I would have to go looking for it.

If you're interested, I can look up the coordinates when I get home.

Edit: This seed is for 1.7.2

I really enjoyed this seed, however I was able to exhaust the cave exploration in five minutes creative-time. It's just not big enough for what I'm looking for. Thanks, though!

Then you didn't find it all. There is a hole in the floor under some running water in one of the branches of the cave. The hole is only one block, so it's easy to miss. It leads to a lot more cave.

Okay, that one hole definitely led to a whole lot more. I take it back :o This is much better than I initially thought. c:
