A Simple Invite

My new hobby is caving. I just want to go caving... BUT, in Utah, most of the caves are protected by lock and key and the only way to get in is to jump through hoops by joining the Timpanogos Grotto system, National Speleological Society, and pulling off a good impression with the leaders to give you a key. Not to mention, you have to fill out applications AND if the cave is considered dangerous or technical, you have to find someone that has already been in it to lead your group.
Luckily, I avoided all of that because my new friend Jeff invited me on his latest caving trip. I left a post on his caving blog and we've been corresponding by email since then planning a trip. Green Eyed Monster is what we did last weekend!

I am confident that everyone, at least once in their life, was happy that someone invited them to do something. It just makes the world a happier place when people are inviting. At times, we have so much power in social settings and a simple invite can make somebody else's day.


My camera battery died shortly after we entered the cave. Thanks to Chantelle, I have this picture.

I know of some caves in Southern Utah. I've been in a few of them and it's fun. Have you heard of them?
