🔥An Ancient Forest
Our wild places are full of scenes like this. One tiny stream in a huge forest in a larger ecosystem. They are cogs in the ancient circle of life. Fallen trees in various stages of decay crisscross the mossy landscape. They’re slowly returning the nutrients they once pulled from the earth, right back into the soil. We need to advocate for these places and protect them for their own sake and preserve the beauty they offer our weary souls. These places need all their members present to thrive.

Pushing Spring Cave
Water levels across Colorado are apocalyptically bad due to the consequences of climate change. Low snow pack means low snow melt means low water level. There’s almost nothing good about it - Almost. The only upshot is that ground water levels, and those in wet caves, are especially low. Micah and I were able to go to places in Spring Cave that no one has been to since the last Spring Cave Diving Expedition took place over twenty years ago. We were able to bypass at least one of the sumps.
