Rainy day up at Rocktown yesterday. Luckily for us, this side of the mountain is home to Petty Johns Cave! 6.5 miles long, 240 feet deep and comfortably set at a constant 58 degrees! Here's some shot's of the entrance and the first series of rooms you come too, known as 'the freeway'. Unfortunately, this was as far as my camera made it. With passages suitably named 'valley of yuk' and 'pulverizer squeeze', I decided this wasn't exactly the expedition for the d300, but next time I'll be prepared with a lovely little point and shoot that will only cost me a few bucks if it gets screwed up.




*note* the flashes of light in this photo are me running around, sparking the flash as to try to get as much of the room illuminated in 30 seconds.

Now it's off to the Citadel for some more climbing. Unfortunately, hunting week at Rocktown has started, so there's no climbing till Sunday, unless you're willing to pay a hefty ticket and/or get shot at by deer hunters. We figure we'll just go climb elsewhere, then get home to re-up on some money before heading out west...
