Rat’s Nest Cave
August 29th, 2007In addition to photographing Cones on vacation, ireen & I also did some spelunking. We went on a ‘Wild Cave Tour’ in Rat’s Nest Cave at Grotto Mountain in Canmore, Alberta, Canada. Link to their website is HERE, and it’s Selection #1 - Adventure Tour. If you ever go, ask for ‘Eli’ ;)
ireen produced a great photo journal of our experience there and here’s the slideshow -

Wow. That is really fascinating. Thanks for sharing these great pictures, together with your exciting descriptions. Four hours in that Rat’s Nest Cave must have been a real adventure.
And I like the photo taken in absolute darkness, hehe. Because of the experiences you made, that it’s possible to detect your environment by just using your acuesthesia. I tried the same in the “Eishöhlen” (ice caverns) few weeks later in Manderscheid (ireen knows what I’m taking about) when all explorers left and I was alone; switched off the light and it worked. But this does not compare to your tour, i feel. Great. Wish I participated. :)
