Family Trip

April 22, 2000

Jenn & Drew, Robin & Derek joined Valerie and I on a family bondage experience to explore Spider Cave. Friend David Novick was brave enough to come along as well. Here's the photographic evidence (not cleaned up to be suitable for young children).

(all photos are clickable)

First, you have to get into the cave:


Valerie coming through the tightest squeeze into the "auditorium"

Jenn trying her squeezability

still trying

With Drew close behind

Derek's turn

Robin's turn

and made it



A typical view of the person in front of you


Lots of climbing over pits:


Valerie goes first

Drew's turn

Derek's next

and here he is with burning
quads while I try and take
another photo

Jenn looks happy

Robin brings up the rear


It's not all work:



There are formations to see

including ones that defy gravity

and others that are overwhelming

Some people even rest

But eventually they make you leave:



This is what it looks like exiting the auditorium
(The only picture of me!)

The survivors!
