Thanks to the young adult generation of the family -- our nieces and nephews -- the idea of a caving trip over their Christmas holiday was born! This idea turned into a whirlwind expedition: drive to the PSC field house on Dec. 26th, spend the night, go caving the next day and drive home. We successfully accomplished this goal with 13 people; there were no mishaps, much fun was had by all, and many memories were created.

Karl's 8 year old nephew getting ready for his first cave trip!
Approaching the trailhead in the rain. The trail up (and down) was muddier than the cave.
Continuing the hike uphill...
Hooray for Grandpa! He made it to the top with no problem!
Some of the gang before entering the cave: Laura, Sam, Rick, Rex, Vonnie, Sarah, Karl
Hanging out in the cave!
