Old Man Mountain

Caving in the dark, an adventure worth living. We all packed into the cave, quite a tight squeeze. Through crevices we make our way; crawling, falling. One by one we went, passing through like thread in a needle. Winding around and then out we come, from where we begun.

The shooting stars and beaming moonlight sends me into a peace I cannot explain. Lights from Estes stream through as lava flow, glowing red and orange. We pack into a pit and sleep for the night. Glorious. Wind rushing over the top of the mountain, sweeping over us smoothly as we lie in a sunken area. Sunrise comes quicker than imagined and we hike down at 4:45am.
