New Here- from San Jose, California
Posted: Oct 9, 2015 9:21 am
Hey all, my name is Jessilynn. I am new to the idea of caving. I am not a caver. However I would SO love to be. I can't tell you where I cave, or WHY I cave, because I have not officially been yet. However I can tell you why I want to.
Now, I have been on tours, with guides telling us everything, and where to and where not to step. Guard rails, and all that stuff.
However, there have been 2 tours I can think of where the guide said "And that hole leads to a giant chasm of water." And personally, I would LOVE to and have dreamt about repelling down to view it. I mean what sane person would NOT want to view something like that? To go down beneath the earth, and view a natural wonder of the world. Some people view… I don't know something like the Lighthouse of Alexandra as a wonder of the world. But Me, I could go my whole life without seeing that. To me, a "Wonder of the World" would be seeing what mother earth has created, and exploring it.
I have been interested in the idea of exploring caves, and going on expeditions for many years. Now I just really want to go, like a calling.
I just need the instruction and guidance. So if anyone knows of any place around San Jose, California where I can learn. Or any instructional caver groups… please let me know I AM interested :)
