Caving (I'm not cool enough to use the term spelunking) with Jon and Jeff

Yesterday Jon, Jeff (a person we met through a friend of Jon), and I went to explore and photograph more caves. We had a lot of fun and Jeff was a lot of help in giving us the names of, and taking us to more caves. The three lava tubes we explored were really interesting. We first went to Natural Bridge Tunnel. It's a long tube with a dramatic entrance. The inside is filled with interesting formations and a cool horizontal split half-way back. The next cave was also very interesting (we've been sworn to secrecy as to name and location - I think). It had a very small opening and then opened up quite large and included a cool Indiana Jones type rock in a slot. Then we took Jeff to a cave he didn't know about. Jon and I have visited it on a couple previous occasions. It's quite long, and is full of bats, side chambers, and bones. Anyway, we had fun and I took some interesting pictures, some funny pictures, and some cliches. I'm sure Jeff thinks Jon and I are pretty weird. Here are some images:

ca. 540 degree panorama. I don't have a cool rotating camera, so I rotated instead

I don't know if this is obvious but the last two photos include the moon.

I love your idea for the 540 degree photos, Darren.

Makes me wish I could get out to Idaho to go caving with you guys.
Maybe sometime soon -
