Spelunkin'
On Saturday I took a day trip to a cave with my friends Sean and Kelly. I don't remember the name of the cave, but I think it was somewhere in the Great Basin National Park, right next to the Utah/Nevada border. It was about a four hour car ride to the cave so we left at about 6:30 in the morning. Sean was going to make us eat a gas station breakfast, but Kelly and I eventually persuaded him (by way of a finely balanced combination of elementary school kid complaining and guilt tripping) to stop at a One Man Band diner. We had some time to kill before our guided tour started, so we took a scenic drive up a nearby mountain and then hiked to a small lake. On the drive up the mountain Sean nearly swerved off the cliff in order to avoid hitting a squirrel. The ninety-minute cave tour was cool. Everywhere you looked you could see some pretty incredible formations. Our tour guide was a middle aged guy from the south who had a very friendly, gentle, and soothing voice, which actually made listening about stalactites and stalagmites and shield and popcorn formations really enjoyable.
On another note, I need to make a clarification from something I said in a previous post. I had mentioned that I had "shaved" my head, and it has subsequently come to my attention that this word choice has been a source of confusion for some of my readers. I would like to substitute the word "shaved" with the more accurate word, "buzzed". As you can see in the pictures below, there does remain a remnant of hair on my head. Sorry, Clint, I just don't have what it takes yet to join the ranks of you and Jeremy white.

I had no idea sean was behind me while I was taking that picture

It was difficult to take pictures that didn't come out fuzzy
It's just like the mines of Moria....sort of

Wow! Sean McSeanerberry looks normal in these pictures. But that can't be. By the way, Sean's website is far more interesting than yours, Chris. Where are the squirrels on this blog?
