Caving Info

This section is under construction .... well, maybe it's more under design than construction ... but at least I'm starting to work on it. :-)

Wild Caving

My first real caving trip was to Glenwood Caverns in Glenwood Springs, CO in 2002. My partner, Lisa, and I were out at Vail, CO in May for the wedding of a friend of mine from college. It was a little chilly to go rock climbing so we went underground instead. When we got back home, we ran into a group from the local grotto (a.k.a. caving club) and have been caving ever since.
