My kids have gotten me into caving again
Good - have fun - don't forget to write.
EEEWWW - caving.
Must be a skinny little guy. I had trouble in a couple places while going
around the dome at St. Peters in the Vatican. It is a double wall dome and
tapers at the top. Being 6'4" with broad shoulders, the shoulders would
cause me to have to twist a lot to clear the walls as they narrowed.
Oh my poor knees. T'was no trouble caving but later my knees are
shot. Having trouble even standing up. It was seriously muddy. one
of th epeople took pics and when I get em i'll post em to show what
real mud looks like.
Are the snakes fearful of you?
Snakes are afraid of everybody and I have a healthy respect for them.
Surprisingly, we saw none today but I was sure looking. I am no
longer skinny (6' 2" and 187 lbs) but seem to have few problems
fitting into places. It is nice to see healthy young men having
trouble doing something I can do easily. Me: " We go that way"
pointing to a crack about 1' wide sloping down at an extreme angle
with no place to put your feet. He tries several times and cannot do
it. It is all method, I wedged myself in it with my back on one wall
and knees and hands on the other and wiggled sideways for 20'.
Sometimes us old farts can outdo the youngsters.
I'll wait for the video.
