Hello there!
I'm not one for writing about myself, but here goes
Currently I'm in a bit of a transitional stage in my life. I was studying at Purdue University (Indiana) for Computer Graphics, however due to financial issues over this summer I'll be moving back to California for a year or two. For the next few weeks I'll be hanging around the Midwest at my parents' house, and I decided to turn to my forgotten love: caving.
I first got into caves around 98 or so, when my family took a trip to a local tourist trap and we went on a guided tour. Since then, I've ditched the paved roads and switched instead to the mud. Unfortunately, my only experience consist of different "wild" cave tours that have all been guided. Now I've done a fair amount of these, I'm ready to take the next step, and go with a team instead of a guide. I need adventure in my life, I need to discover.
So with that, I've joined this forum in hopes of finding friends and mentors, and just having a good time.
