Confessions

[Excited Penguin]

Many years ago, my ex and I used to explore lava tubes down in the central Oregon area.  One time, we camped out on a sandy cave floor almost a mile from the entrance.  It was super spooky to wake up in the pitch black, having *no* idea what time it was, whether it was day or night...  you get the idea.  Neither of us slept real well.

I did that once in Santa Cruz.  There is a cave that goes by many names (Beelzebub's Bunghole being the one my buddies and I used).  Once I'd made arrangements to explore this one again with a friend on a Saturday and also had an invite to a party on the UC campus the Friday night before.  Suffice to say I didn't get lucky enough to have another alternative so I spent the night in the cave.  In one of the larger rooms there was a raised platform just large enough to sit up in, but off to the side of anyone's conceivable pathway.  Slept just fine. Wouldn't do it now for multiple reasons.

Hmm? Why not?
