Yesterday I didn't post because we went to Prince Rock with our cousins.
It was a long drive, and when we got there we had to wait in a line to get in. We got in not too long later, and then we started up Prince Rock. I brought my jacket, my water bottle, and a bag of pretzels. We lost some pretzels because, well... do you know how hard it is to climb and hold onto a bag made of thin plastic and not let it break?
We finally got to the top. It was easier than I expected. The view was pretty cool. Then my dad mentioned a cave, and I really wanted to go. But because CHICKEN had gone before with his Boy Scout troop, he thought that he knew EVERYTHING about it. "That's not a good idea for us to go in there, because it's pitch black, and you need a flashlight. And in the end it gets all wet and you need to crawl the rest of the way through tight rocks, and... yeah, it's really just not a good idea at all." We somehow ignored him. My mom stayed behind to watch our stuff.
My dad only had two flashlights, so he had one (it was really more of a light attatched onto a band that you put on your head) and Jojoba had one. The rest of us used our phones. I had taken a picture of pure light before, so I set it as my wallpaper and flipped it up and down so it wouldn't go out. The cave was really fun. It was dangerous at some points, like where you had to drop down foot-first through a little hole onto a rock underneath, and where you had to put your feet on one side of a crevice and your hands on the other to get through, and where there were steep drops next to where you were going through. Let me tell you, it was NOTHING like the 'Natural Caverns' we went to in first-grade field trips, where you walk through huge rooms of cave walls with metal handles attatched to the sides for safety. Most of this cave was crawling carefully. It was fun.
At the end when you got out, you could either try to make your way through a series of rocks or you could run up a steep side of Prince Rock. Jojoba, Elizabeth, and I crawled up the side, which was really fun, but extremely tiring. If you stop, it's kind of hard to not fall over, and it's harder to start. After you start up again, it's harder to go up. It was really fun, because I knew that if I stopped, it wouldn't be good...
Okay, I'll finish this later, cause I have to go wash clothes... I never get more than fifteen minutes on the computer every day... *sigh* Someone's ALWAYS on...
