Most of the caves we are going to be looking into are in areas that can be scrambled up to. There are some that will need ropes, but for that I will need to wait for Tiago to arrive. Until then I will continue to scramble into the caves in the valley.
Yesterday we found two really great caves. One had three little tunnels and some interesting looking nooks. The next was a really long and dark cave. The tunnels looked like they went far into the mountain. As I started into one of them I noticed a dark, shiny coil of scales. I don't like snakes. I never used to be scared of snakes, but after living in Africa for a year I am no longer even able to stand Canadian snakes of the garden variety. I was out of that cave pretty fast. Still, it was a very interesting looking cave, so if someone else wants to see if the Arc of the Covenant is inside, they are welcome.
I am really looking forward to getting into more caves. I hope we find some more really deep ones….preferably deep caves with nothing scaly inside.
