Deep in Pluto Lava Tube near Mount Shasta, California

Aloha,

For some reason, I love to be underground. I would not call myself a
spelunker, at least yet. This was taken September of 2007 in Pluto
Lava Tube near Mount Shasta. I was fairly well equipped, overly so
because I am such a neophyte in some waysg but at least I was safe. I
violated a basic rule - never go alone! But as these things go I was
ok, someone waiting for me at the mouth and a fuctioning cell phone
and my fire radio as a backup. Plenty of clothing, food and water for
two days. The cave end was only about two hours back but a fast two
hours back with a lot of scrambling and crawling at times. I hope to
do more. It was so cool! In every way. I felt more alive during it
and afterwards. Thanks for reading,

David
