I'll make this story brief--we led a beginner's trip to Whirlpool and
Maple Run one weekend last fall. Andrea (the woman in the video) came
along because her friend Emily (who's continued to be a caver, and
really loves it) asked her to do it. Andrea wrote a column for the
Dallas Observer (the local weekly arts paper) that focused on her
trying out new activities, so she was willing to try caving but wasn't
convinced she'd like it. I didn't find out that she was a newspaper
columnist until we'd reached Waco, and by that time it was too late to
pull the truck over to the side of the road and ask her to walk home. :)
Lest you think that Andrea is a wimpy person, she told us that of all
the activities she'd researched for her column, skydiving and standup
comedy were her favorites. She has continued to perform standup (she
moved to Austin this spring), which in my mind is much more terrifying
than trying to get through the entrance squeeze in Maple Run.

So how did that girl get involved with the caving trip? It sounded
like it was someone else's idea. Ha.
So you see how this Youtube thing works now. Upload some of your own
videos from your digital camera. I put one up from Frozen Dead Guy
Days in Nederland a month ago.
