Caving Opportunity?

This sounds pretty sweet:
(from the community page of the Daily Astorian on Aug. 3, 2007)

"Gene Hancock, The Daily Astorian's Internet designer, has been a member of the Oregon Grotto, a caving club that explores and maps the hundreds of lava tube caves on Mount St. Helens, for six years. Hancock and the Oregon Grotto are also members of the National Speliological Society.

In addition to exploration, the Oregon Grotto arranges Boy Scout tours of caves and spearheads conservation efforts to preserve the caves for future generations. To see photos of the group's explorations, go to www.oregongrotto.com.

The Ear has learned that Hancock has made a slide show of his own experiences on his last caving trip July 28. "I really enjoy being involved with an organized club that has access to all those hidden caves." said Hancock.

To watch the caving slide show, go to http://movies.dailyastorian.biz/caving/caveshow7-28.swf

Cool blog! It will be fun watching the activities you do.

The pictures show what you mean about the energy they had on the activity.

Are crew members going to be able to submit their own articles, too? Its always fun to hear how they see their experiences.

I'd imagine either I can invite them to do so or they can leave their thoughts in the comments. But yes, it would be fun to get their perspective as well. I don't intend to be the only contributor here. :-)
