recent Caving

As caving ethics go, I will not say where, but I explored a Central PA cave on my day off for veteran's day. Rob, Chitlin, and I followed directions given by a grotto member- who supplied the cave map as well.

Spent 3+ hours underground without seeing all the rooms on the map, which is for the best- so we can get some pictures to document the cave's splendor. Our bodies were covered in too much mud to properly wipe off our hands to use a camera. Documented some translucent insects, salamanders, and bats (free of white nose syndrome).

Up on the hill

Spent another night on the hill known as Peter's Mountain last week. A cold, windy November night, I set up my tent inside the shelter by the parking lot. That parking lot is always busy, no matter the time of year. Although, I believe the car that was idling in the parking lot was of the feds who were supposedly investigating the case of the infamous tire dumper. It was the clearest night on Peters Mountain I have seen-no need to rush into the morning, but daylight savings has ended.

memories of when..........

3 days, or so, before reaching amicolola falls in 2008. In the town of Helen, GA, which happens to be a spectacle of sorts for attracting tourists to its immitation german style. Fun times at the bar for Karaoke night, and Creeture's uncle to celebrate with us.
