I don't even know how I'll be able to describe everything to you, but I'll do my best.  It was a very hot, July, muggy, summer day.  We ended up 4X4ing with Dave's Jeep Wrangler through backwoods countryside - a good mile into the woods.  We finally went as far as we could with the Jeep, and headed out on foot after that.  A good mile walk down hill woodsy area to a deep creek bed which was a run off from a river.  The water was CRYSTAL CLEAR, and so beautiful.  We traversed steep narrow cliffs over the water, and boy was I panicky.  I can't stand heights.  Somehow, I was able to overcome my fear.  I was excited to be able to find such a hidden cache.

We ended up wading the water to a cave which held our prize cache.  We entered the cave twice and searched deep into the cavern...  Searching searching searching.  My flashlight was faulty as well as Dave's flashlight.  What a time to give out on us in the cave.  We were enjoying it though.  We finally spotted our prize underneath a wall hidden behind rocks.  Dave saw a glint of metal, and we both whooped and hollered especially after our long hike!  We didn't want to go home empty handed.

The hike back was exhausting...!  The swim to our hiking path was so nice, but waterlogged hiking uphill was something to forget about.  All that extra weight was dragging me down.  So, we finally got back to our Jeep and hightailed it home.  We scored a dinosaur (which will remind us of our cave adventure)...!  It was the longest hike and drive of my entire life.  As you can see in the pictures, I'm about worn out.  In fact, the pictures were taken only half the way through our adventure.  Dave and I in the cave, and Dave and I just outside the entrance to the cave.  Also, for those wondering what some caches look like, there's a picture of Dave in the cave with the cache box of goodies.  As you can see, we are wet, muddy, and exhaustedly happy.
