Sometimes going to the mundane assignments, like this one at a fundraiser for a local fire department, can be grueling. But sometimes, just sometimes, you can get a gem of an image like this one.

A whole day on the unmarked trails. I got lost, so lost!
BUT the river I was following was amazing…. It was like I was in the Norther Rockies again! This does not look like West Virginia, huh?

Me on a trail rock at Dolly Sods.
It was a great day of hiking and camping for the West Virginia weekend getaway.

After bugging the Front Royal Grotto members for months about learning vertical rope techniques, a member found this weekend course called “Vertical Reality” in Gilboa, Ohio. Several of us FRGers went. I had a blast learning all sorts of SRT (single rope techniques) to apply to my future vertical caving adventures.
