This was a caving adventure to Ranger's Way, deep inside the Rat's Nest Cave under Grotto mountain. Special thanks to both Chas and Jane, our excellent guides, for taking us where few people have gone before. This is an extreme sport. It was the most dangerous thing I've ever done in my life, and I would not do it again. If one of us had broken a leg down there, I figure it would have taken two or three days for someone to get us out of there.

What is redbeet?

This is my retro website, a homepage that dates back to the day when the Web was still coded with text editors, well-worn keyboards, elbow grease and Unix servers... the guts all neatly hidden from sight thanks to hyperlinks.
