Cave Stream Adventure

Today was the day I was going to show you thrilling scenes from Terry's attempt at the Cave Stream. Well, we had a swell time climbing around Castle Hill and then we headed on to the Cave Stream. Upon arrival there we feverishly donned our underground water gear and headed down to the entrance. When we arrived at the river crossing to get to the cave entrance we were greeted with a raging torrent from the previous days rains. Crossing the river would have been an adventure in itself - and we were only psyched for and "underground" adventure. Like whipped dogs we dragged our sorry carcasses back up the trail. As an afterthought I thought we'd go down to the cave exit and see if the flow into the cave was as bad as I expected. Normally the water level for the cave at the exit is about ankle deep. The flow there today was thigh deep. Though still manageable at that point, there are places inside the cave that would be daunting for a salmon. I would have loved to show all of this to you with the video and photos I took of all of it, but our last adventure involved retrieving the camera from the middle of the highway where it fell when we drove off with it still on the roof. The chip is still intact so I may still post the video and photos when I figure out how to get them onto the computer.
