Once you get beyond the entrance passage the cave tightens up and you encounter some crawling.

Once you get through the crawling passage, the cave opens back up into a formation room with one lonely column.

There is some interesting geology going on with the walls and ceiling as the colors change.

In another passage you encounter small selenite needles that are quite unique and rare to find.

This is a very interesting cave and I think that there are more caves around in this area.

We are not born to be idle..

I believe that everything we know in the universe is just bits of information. Process of thinking is asking yourself the right questions, questions come from your belief. 

information is meaningless until we compare it to our college. Once we find a college match, we can understand what a story means. 

Experience of learning.  Change the meaning if you do not like how you feel. What is an empowering way to look at this? 

The meaning you associate gets assigned to something which determines how you feel and what you do in life. Our meaning is our interruption of our perception. 

There is a difference between what a story means to us and the physical experience we have in our bodies. 

People resonate with their circumstances as you travel through life you lock in and stay in. 

What is coloring your perception. Why don’t we start asking ourselves more empowering questions? 

I find all this of a valid perspective when going into the world of caving and tapping into curiosity as to what could be just around the corner. 

Curiosity is a big factor in my drive to find and explore caves

This drive has helped me find new caves along the journey through the desert. 

One of which is a new cave that I call Morning Star cave. 

The circular objects on the walls appear to be mammillaries and ceiling have aragonite and popcorn coating the surface of them . 

This is a significant aspect of what hypogenic caves look like and what hydrothermal activity might have existed millions of years ago. 

Some of these spheres have a blue tint to them which are in an area of the cave that I call the Blue Ball Crawl. 

This selenite chandelier is quite unique to the southwest desert and further protection measures have been taken into account. 

Mr. Pink was a promoter in Las Vegas that had a foothold on the pulse of the nightclub scene. 

This cave was a crack in the rock at the base of a mountain which went down into the ground. 

the cave continued on into a decorated room and soon after ended. 

Jumbos Clown room is actually an iconic bar in LA where they had some pretty culture and wild freaking times at! 

This cave was a bit wild to get into and had a great crowd to visit this newly discovered decorated Nevada cave. 

It became a 5.3-5.4 climb to get into the final approach into the cave itself. The cave was decorated with lots of flow stone and formations on the ceiling and walls.
