Here’s a collection of pictures and a little video from an afternoon of caving/spelunking at California Cavern on their “Mammoth Cave Expedition” tour. I’ve enjoyed many caving adventures (including multiple visits to this cave system) but this was a first time experience for Darlene, Glenn and Michele to go on more than a walking tour of a cave. They were a little nervous and reluctant but went for it and everyone had fun and came through with smiles… despite a few moments of claustrophobia!

Climbing Mt. Whitney
These are pictures and videos from a three day backpacking trip with Stéphane and Darlene to summit Mt. Whitney (14,505 ft). Second time for me! (Here’s the first.)
We chose to camp at Outpost Camp (10,400 ft), a relatively short 3.8 miles from the Whitney Portal trailhead at 8360 ft. However, this made for a long summit day of over 14 miles round trip. We made it though and enjoyed a beautiful day and stupendous views all along the way!
