1-11-03 CUB SCOUT TRIPT TO BAT CAVE
On Saturday, January 11, a group of about 15 cub scouts 4 leaders
enjoyed exploring Bat Cave. Since the group was so big, we split up
into two smaller groups. Becky, Sean, and Brandon Roberts guided one
group and Sullivan and Caren Beck guided the other group. The Beck
group explored the Root Cellar first and ended up doing the worm hole
squeeze as a grand finale. I'm not sure who had more fun cramming
into that small room, the scouts or the leaders!!?! The Roberts' group
dug out the original entrance and successfully managed to maneuver
the pancake squeeze which led to it!! We took a 30 minute break for
lunch and those who had time and wanted returned to the cave for another
hour of exploration. We entered through the original entrance and
somehow wound up at the worm hole squeeze again. I guess we just can't
torture ourselves enough sometimes!!By Caren Beck Thank you to the Scouts and leaders who had great attitudes and who genuinely enjoyed themselves. Thank you also to Santa Fe for allowing us and the scouts this unique cave exploration experience!
