Horn Lake Caves

Hey all

So today we went Caving!!! It was soo much fun! The K group split up into two teams; one team went to Vic to go and spend the day with the homeless and the other group (my group) went up to the Horn Lake Caves to do a little crawling in the mud. The drive out was fun and I got shotty and control of the music!
When we did get there we all piled out and ate our lunch and played on the suspension bridge across the river. It is soo much fun getting everyone to jump up and down making it spring and then have one person run through it without falling. It is soo hard cause when you step you never know at what hight the bridge will be so in mid step you might fall a foot or maybe not even have to step down! Jen took a faily hard bail right at the end before we headed for the caves.
It was a little walk up the hill to the cave and in we went. Jen was the leader of our group but I eventually took the head and explored well infront of my group. Tom and I took a higher rout above the main cavern. This one was kinda sketchy but so much more fun cause you could peer down at the others while sneeking around narrow passages. Eventually we made it all the way into the back of the cave and found the source of the underground waterfall in this particular one. It was fairly small and there were no deep puddles at all, just a little muddy and wet. What can you expect, its a cave. Then we regrouped and explored all the small passages that we had missed on the way in. There were soo many good little spots to just hang out in.
When we got back to the end of the cave we noticed that we had little friends in these caves with us. Ya there were hundreds appon hundreds of daddy long legs that were crawling around the roofs of the cave. Ya most of the people were freaking out once they found out about the bugs who inhabbited the cave, mind ya they are only daddy long legs, like they cant hurt you or anything. they just look freaky is all.
So we finally got out of the cave. A group of us before the rest. So we decided to hide and feak them out as they came out. I hid under the stairs up to the cave so I could grab onto peoples legs as they walked down. I got Ryan and Deb pretty good. But then we all took off to the van cause we were getting cold and bored of waiting.
To end off our adventure we all went to the Nanaimo Aquatic center, my former place of employment and chilled out in the hot tub. It was really fun in the pool actually, because where ever we went in the facility we did as a group and made it into a big game. It made just chilling in a pool that much better.

Hope you enjoyed the read. There will be another tomorrow :)

God Bless
