I have been on about thirty-something caving trips, but I've only been caving for about a year. I've only been on three vertical caving trips so far. I looking forward to a lot more time underground.
When I was younger, maybe 10 or so, my family went to Carlsbad Caverns. It was here that I fell in love with caves. I heard about Lechugilla cave and immediately wanted to go. The idea of seeing things that only a few people have ever seen enchanted me. I also liked the idea of spending days underground on an expedition and wondered how people got the supplies through the cave. I was really bummed when I found out I couldn't go on the "wild" cave trips. I was too young.
So I forgot about caving for a long time until last year a friend of mine asked me to go caving with him. So here I am.
