WAYBAC machine

Postby Squirrel Girl » Jan 16, 2013 9:12 am

I've been digitizing some of my old caving slides from the 80s. Thought I might post a few here for you young whippersnappers to see what it was like in the old days.

Ediger making his way thru a coat hanger as a caving training exercise. This was in Ozark, AL around 1972. Me on the couch.

Do! Me too!
I'm jealous. I wish I were old enough to have caved when people were allowed to wear jeans and teal hardhats.
