Caving in Chilliwack

Last month we went spelunking with the Zupancics in Chilliwack. The location cannot be found on any maps but dad discovered it by word-of-mouth through his photo-club. It's an awe-inspiring place but because it's so dark inside (pitch black), it is difficult to capture photos that accurately convey what things are like inside the cave.

I was surprised how quickly my knees started hurting while exploring inside. Most of the time you have to crawl... My legs were shaking and my back was sore (we went a month after my car accident so my back was/is still recovering). But it was still fun and was nice to get outside and do some physical activity.

Dan the Man-- he's looking good!
Cave entrance-- this is a tricky one called the wormhole. All uphill, tight, curvy. Some parts you are shaped like an "L". I could not do this one...The path that leads to the wormhole entrance. From left to right-- David (Elisa's boyfriend), Nathan (family friend visiting from Mexico), me, Dan my man.
