Report on my summer
Look at that. I haven’t written anything in a year. I haven’t been back to the cavern in about a year. Of course, I really couldn’t get away from my Master’s work recently, that’s why. One more year on it, and I’ll probably go on to get my Doctorate.
So I finally went back this summer for a week…end. That’s right, I still don’t have much vacation time. In fact, nothing’s been much longer than a weekend. Back in June, I went kayaking on the San Rafael–it was a bit more dangerous than usual, and being our first time kayaking on a river…well…let’s just say it was pretty adventurous. And there was a weekend where I went to Goblin Valley/Little Wild (White?) Horse Canyon with my ward. And last weekend was Pioneer Day here, so I visited the cavern…well…I think I remained in other Ages more than in the cavern, though.
One Age we found had an old, tattered korvahk that had almost an English-like lettering on the outside–but it was really too faded to tell. I took some pictures of the place.
It’s almost as if I was here before…most of the land is swampish, and I think this is just part of a large island because I could hear the ocean far away. But the whole place was mostly these treehouses and rope bridges everywhere–it seemed that there were a few pathways and piping below once upon a time, but most of it must have rotted and got washed away. Some of the houses are inaccessible, since many trees have fallen and either took down the bridges with them, or the entire house with it. Nonetheless, it was a peaceful place if you ignore the tons of mosquito-like bugs.
Anyway, I might have some more time in a couple weeks, so I’m crossing my fingers here.
