Last Weekend

Sep 09, 2005 14:53

I haven't updated in forever, i know. Hope everyone is doing good. Im finally back into the swing of things here. Its good to have a schedule again, though a little more free time would be nice! Last weekend me and 4 others from my caving group went to Bustamante, Mexico again. We left afternoonish friday and drove 8-9 hours there, stayed for a day and drove back midday sunday. Though it was short, it was sooo much fun.




Our campsite





A restaurant at the bottom of the mountain



My friends getting ready for the hike up the mountain

"Gruta" = Cave en espanol



Some more hiking



Getting ready to enter the cave







Keep in mind its pitch black in most of the cave. Alot of the things i took pics of i coulnt see through my camera until the flash went off.

Caving Lisa :)



Some graffiti that we tried to remove during the restoration project last year. Obviously theres some left.







This is called the Cathedral Room. A long time ago some of the people of Bustamante would hold Easter mass down here. I cant even imagine trying to get down here in nice clothes. Keep in mind, to get to this room you have to first climb a mountain and them climb down into a deep pit in the cave.

Back at the first room of the cave. This room had lights strung up so that during projects people will have more light.
