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.

Uh Oh...Fun's Over.

On my last blog entry I somewhat jokingly suggested that someone might like to join me in Green Bay for a kind of contest at the Bellin 10K Run. I did not seriously expect any real takers to my challenge, so you can imagine my surprise, nay even my shock when one of you took me up on my offer. Now he's done it, I'm committed to making a serious effort. So for today's 65 minute run there was no camera, no dog, no gentle surface and no snappy repartee. It was a "training" run. My first in a very long time. So, the fun's over. I'll have to actually work now.

Sorry, I got distracted.

I've been so absorbed with the events on Herb's blog that I've ignored mine. Check it out, I'm breathless with anticipation.
