Down and Dirty at California Cavern
Another excursion into the cave system at California Cavern – this time with the Outdoor Adventure Club:
Weekend Return to Bishop
Spent a weekend with my high school friend, David, to visit and stay with his mom, Grace (and her llamas) back in Bishop, CA. We went out four-wheeling a bit, explored some caves, disturbed some bats, checked out some views of Owens Valley, and Dave broke out his rifle for some target practice. No llamas or bats were harmed in our endeavours.

Belize Adventure
This is a collection of images from a trip in March 2002 booked through REI Adventures and provided by SlickRock Adventures. It was a week of caving, rafting, canoeing, jungle hiking, sea kayaking, surf kayaking, snorkeling, diving, windsurfing, … oh, you get the idea.
Jungle hiking (and a bit of four-wheeling) to reach Actun Tunichil Muknal – otherwise known as the Cave of the Crystal Sepulchre.
Watch your step — those are real Mayan artifacts!
Two nights at Casa Maya, a guided tour of the ruins of Xunantunich, and some “mostly gentle” canoeing down the Mopan River.
Nice day to capsize!
Helmets and headlamps for caving via rafts on the Caves Branch River. And overnight nestled in Ian Anderson’s Jungle Lodge.
Sweet!
Four days of sea and sun on Long Caye at Glover’s Reef. Sea kayaking, surf kayaking, snorkeling, diving, windsurfing, oh, and hammock surfing.
Rough life!
Miscellaneous Excursions: Downtown in Belize City and out to the Belize Zoo, visiting the ruins of Altun Ha, and demonstrating our primate origins at the Community Baboon Sanctuary.
Who’s the true primate?!
A Very Wet Spelunking Trip
Adrena and I joined Jon and Siobhan for another spelunking adventure at California Caverns. This time it was very much the wet season – and wet suits required. We were sometimes wading in waist deep water – and plenty of super sticky deep mud! Awesome! Unfortunately I didn’t have a camera that could handle those conditions, so it’s really just before and after pictures.
