Hiking and Caving Shenanigans

I’m happy to be caving!

Shenanigans are the best kind of nanigans. And where there’s shenanigans, usually Dan’s around. So yes, Dan was visiting 2 weekends ago for some hiking and caving adventures! I know, I’m a bit behind on my postings. Back off already! But since I haven’t been keeping up, I will conveniently hi-jack Dan’s blog postings about the weekend and link them here. However,  I will also share some photos and videos of the epic weekened. EPIC I says.

1) Read all about the great hike at Nihahi Ridge here:

“All The Classy Bitches Drink Mountain Top Scotch”

2) All the going-ons about the caving adventure at Rat’s Nest can be found here:

“It’s a Dark Wet Hole. It Must Be Fun.”

Nihahi. Third time is a charm :)

  1. I approve of shenaniganning, especially when shenaniganning involves climbing mountains, drinking scotch on said mountains, screeing, and caving. And especially when those shenanigans involve the Rick, the Dr. Beth, and Paul. However, for the record, neither Paul nor I, prance. Just sayin’.

  2. Oh that Sergeant, whatever will he get up to next? Considering the bottle is as big as he is, I imagine he wasn’t posing on mountaintops the next day!

  3. Annette, you must try it! I was quite hesitant, but was glad I did it :). And yes, Jen, he most definitely was not posing on mountaintops the next day! He had a bit of a hangover… :S
