Trip Report: Speleo-Ed in California

[wendy]

I had a great time in California this past weekend. It was my first time west of Alabama. So I was in awe of everything I saw. And I met lots of new people, and even ran into someone I had met at convention in Huntsville.

Upon arrival I went to Moaning Cavern and did the 165' rappel.

The I headed over to Calaveras Big Trees State Park, where I would be camping with 80 members of the Western Region of the NSS. Saturday was some seminars on various cave topics. But I still managed to see some sites in the park.



Sunday I went on the photo workshop trip to Natural Bridges.







Sunday evening I headed over to Black Chasm Cavern and in the morning I got to see the cave before flying out in the afternoon.




Special thanks to Matt Bowers, Dave Bunnell, Bruce Brand, and Greg Francek for making my trip a great one.

I've been on the Black Chasm commercial tour, they were still constructing trails into a new section at the time.

Nice images, any more details or a link to more?
