Cave men and women

Yes pholques, another trip to the caves of Mah-coke-ket-tah, and this time jam packed with a bit more competant photography on my part.  That is to say, I actually brought a tripod, you know, like a real boy.  Anyway, this is the old camera, as there was lots of mud and rain...

It was just like that movie. Yes, we barely escaped with our immortal arses. (I had no idea we had cool caves around here, and I've been in this general area for 30 years)

FAntastic.

Those are so crisp.
I deffinately need to perfect my picture taking skills, and also start using my higher definition setting.

WOW.
I am stunned.

I was pretty stunned myself, actually! So really the difference from last time was using the tripod, setting the white balance correctly, and using the lowest compression mode on the camera (which meant I could only get ~75 pics all day). I needed every bit of all three batteries too...

I'm glad the storm let up just enough for the hiking, that was bloody awesome.

Though I think I missed seeing Ice Cave... and I want to check out the northerly caves next time too. Rock!

Oh we will. I am shooting for next Sundat again at 630 and I will wake-up this bloody time!!!

Overall, it was fortunate we got the later start, and I'm thanking God for that one - had we left the tad bit earlier we would have been in dabuque instead of hiking. That would have been terrible.

We still need to trek the upper sections of the Ice Cave direction. The High Road, you could say. And there's the wilderness trail I would like to explore, and then, eventually I would like to hit the visitors center and get the scoop on canoeing.
