July 2002, Ape Caves

Page 5

We went to the Ape Caves, which is a lava tube cave near Mt. St. Helens.

We had several scouts: Kyle L, Curtis M, Sean M, and Jacob P. The adults were Gary H, Alan M, and Jay P.

Take the right, take the left, they both go through!
Good thing we took the left. Daylight! But not the end, yet.
Okay, this one gets a comment just for the design. Climbing in the mist. (Also known as "photographer forgot to hold his breath again.")
Passages like these are what made the Upper Caves a lot less crowded than the lower.
Light!
The cave went a little further, but after a mile and a half of the Upper cave rock falls, we chose the exit.
Your choice as to which was more dangerous: The rocks or the ladder.
