My next adventure...

[sonoranrn]

Sept 26th, Carlsbad Cavern's "Hall of the White Giant" tour. From the park's online description: Expect to get dirty while crawling thought tight passageways and climbing up slippery flowstone chimneys. Our most challenging tour; ladders, ropes, free-climbing and slippery surfaces will be encountered on this trip to see the White Giant Formation. Each person should bring gloves, 4-AA batteries and knee pads; the Park provides helmets and headlamps. Participants should wear sturdy shoes. This tour is not recommended for anyone who has a fear of enclosed spaces." Duration: 4 hours. Effort: Difficult.

I might die.

Clearly, I am insane.

But I bet it'll be AWESOME.

This reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw once: GOD WAS MY COPILOT, BUT WE CRASHED IN THE MOUNTAINS AND I HAD TO EAT HIM.

So, you know, good luck and all.

I'm sure you'll have a great time! This is the sort of wild caving thing that ovrclokd and I did a bunch of years ago that got us into caving. Hope you have as much fun getting dirty underground as we did!

I feel the caving love. It took hiking on a glacier to dislodge caving days as my best-ever vacation days.

I'm very excited. I do have some caving related questions that I posted here (http://azfiregirl.livejournal.com/453606.html). Any advice would be uber-appreciated!
