Actually, this is not me, but I couldn't resist quoting Gillian Welch. Is this dramatic or what? Spence went caving with some of my climbing friends, and this was their first stop at Neversink Pit.

| Once you get down, then you have to climb back up. |

| Can you read this? Would you rappel on this? Me neither. |

| Spence and Jess |

| Are those stalagmites or stalactites? |
In another adventure, my friend Paige took her new canoe on its maiden voyage down Roaring River on Super Bowl Sunday.

| Paige strikes a pose before launch! |
 |
| Jess, Paige, Rebecca, Dawit, Spence, me, Caroline. It was a cold day! Only one of us swam. It's hard to tell which one from all the smiles. |
After the paddle, we squeezed in one more adventure before kickoff with a short hike to Hardscrabble Falls. Note the varied hiking footwear: fuzzy Crocs, cowboy boots, and you can't see them but Merrill suede clogs. One of those feet (the same ones who swam RR) fell into a large puddle.
We made it back to the house 2 minutes after kickoff. That would be a travesty among those who care.
