Alysia and I met up with Brian and his daughter Alisha for a little cave exploring around the Stanislaus River. This wild cave is accessible by a hundred foot climb up a steep limestone cliff. The cave is small and only has only a few rooms to explore. And although some of the stalactites in the cave have suffered vandalism over the past one hundred years since its discovery, it is still a pretty awesome place.

Happy day!
Some of the stalactites have broken off.
Bats!

Brian next to a column. What a nice day we had.
Extremely sad to see vandalism like this. What stupidity.

We are actually up pretty high.
We cross over to another section of cliff. Still searching.
