V-Neck Cave

So yesterday my buddy Billie (fellow geologist) and I traveled up to a cave. The cave is about thirty minutes up Little Rock Canyon, the canyon south of Slate Canyon. It's not a popular canyon and the cave is only a small v-shaped crack, barely big enough to slide through. I therefore name the canyon, V-Neck Cave. When I see a male wearing a v-neck t-shirt, I feel a little bit uncomfortable, especially the deep ones. This cave made me feel uncomfortable, because it was deep, dark and narrow. We went a good 100 meters deep and it required all sorts of crawling, maneuvering, and climbing and a head lamp.

Who is the White Bible?

A few matters of business:
  • My blog will now be focusing on my travels, whether they be to a foreign land or to my imagination.
  • The White Bible is me. This was my "rapper" name in high school. I put quotations on rapper because I do not rap with style, but I rap nonetheless. The name was given to me by my friends, because I was white and religious.

Otter


Yesterday I went on a field trip. Yes, a field trip. I saw an otter amongst the rocks. I love otters. I also love rocks.
