This site is intended to share my interest in caving with the world. It will be a centralized location to see all my pictures, hear about my ongoing projects, and also find general information for those interested in learning more about caving and outdoors activities in Utah.

Site work status

Pages very slowly coming online ! 2005 and 2008 pictures are all available, adding in commentary and longer stories now. Hoping to get the rest of the prior years up soon... Many pages are placeholders with random comments right now, if the page exists at all. If you try looking around much you will see a "page not found" quite a bit. School/Work/Life is taking a toll on my free time.--Jasonbx

Why Caving?

There are many reasons to cave. One reason I do it is for the challenge. As evidenced by a recent email to another caver after a particularly difficult exploration trip:

Ok, the muscle fatigue is going away, the minor scratches and bruises
all appear to be healing nicely, and I am starting back into the giddy
stage of planning the next trip again. It is apparently an addiction
more than a hobby. Why couldn't I take up stamp collecting? I'll take
back all the names I thought of for you by tomorrow-should be able to twist my body without
twinges by then. :-) Start thinking of the next lead you want us to
try...

I also enjoy caving for several other reasons. These include exploring in a unique environment within each cave, the close knit community of active cavers, and occasionally being somewhere that no one else has ever seen.
