Lava tube! Laaavaaa tuuuuuuuube

[gement]

Washington State has one of the best publicly accessible lava tubes, Ape Cave.

I'm going! Along with J and corivax, who is kind enough to drive.

If you peruse the official site, you will note it suggests two light sources per person.

... I own one tiny flashlight.

While I should own more flashlights, I don't own flashlights and headlamps for everyone, and headlamps seem to run $20 each, which is a lot for something I won't use a lot.

Anyone Seattle-ish care to loan me some light sources?

...now I am wondering if Seattle Mountain Rescue does caves too. Bet they do; they do all our high angle technical rope rescues, so it's probably similar. (That's way out of King County jurisdiction, but we get a bunch of cross-county assist calls since we're the biggest population center. Now I'm interested and will ask at next month's training!)

There's a ton of specialized training stuff for subterranean rescue. I looked into doing this at one point. It seemed cool, but lots of work for rare utility.
