Hello everyone! So simple a caveman can do it! JamesCrouch

Postby JamesCrouch » Aug 2, 2007 10:55 am

The year was 1976 and I was 11 years old. My aunt was in a high school spelunking club that was an extension of the IU club hosted by a teacher at North Central High School in Indianapolis, IN. My aunt invited my mother and I on some trips including Buckners, Ellers, Trap Door... 31 years later I still enjoy every trip as much as the very first!

I live in the Indianapolis area to this day. I am a single dad. The kids are great cavers. I am always willing to go caving; with or with out the kids as opportunities arise. Please, if you need another body to tag along; drop me a note. I don't mind taking long road trips to get underground.

Some of the best times I have had is with the kids. Awesome to see them overcome a difficult passage transition just like I did 30 some years ago.

Just hanging out after a hard day of caving and tossing a few back without having to keep track of anything but how much ice is in the cooler can be very relaxing.

Catch me at any of the regional events...
