Year: 2018
Blue Spring Cave
Blue Spring Cave in Sparta, TN, just keeps calling me back. At 40 miles long, this cave is the longest cave in Tennessee, the 10th longest in the United States, and currently the 44th longest cave on the entire planet. Like all long caves, it’s probably still…
Unterstein Cave
Unsterstein Cave is fascinating to me because it’s the biggest cave I know about that has been discovered since I moved to Alabama. In the 21st Century, it’s tempting to think that everything on the planet has already been discovered. But when it comes to caves, at…
Norway
The mountains of Norway host glaciers, bright blue-green lakes, and expansive views. I can’t wait to explore more of this beautiful country.

The summer of 2018 was a whirlwind of travel. From the end of June to the end of September, work would have me going from Ohio to Seattle to New Orleans to Georgia and to Philadelphia, while personal travel would see me driving to Montana and flying…
Hambrick Cave
On July 9, 2018, I went kayaking with some people from the Huntsville Grotto to Hambrick Cave on Guntersville Lake. There is generally a large colony of gray bats that spend live in Hambrick Cave and fly out at dusk over the lake. The cave is about…
Stephens Gap
On June 3, 2018, I went to Stephens Gap Cave with Alexander. We bounced a pit called Pipeside near Stephens Gap, then hiked up to Stephens Gap and rappelled down into it. These were my first vertical caves with my new Mitchell climbing system, and I was…
Magical Moments
Magical moments…those backcountry experiences that we find so hard to explain to others, but that make all of the hard work and challenges and dangers worth every bit of the effort.
Guntersville Lake
Over the weekend of April 20, 2018, Tracy and I did some hiking at Guntersville Lake. There is some nice walking at Murphy Hill and the Cutchenmine Trail along the lake. I wanted to work on getting some photos, and these are just nice, relaxing trails. [mapsmarker…
