Party in the Civil Defense Caves

For those of you who weren't there, we went into the Civil Defense Caves in Idaho on Sunday to find a shitload of glowsticks necklaces and the like. We mentioned looking it up because do to the magnitude of glowy things it seemed like there had to be a lot of people or a lot of parties....

What I found on BYU activites guide: "PARTY Students share tips on planning perfect gatherings"

“We had a dance in a cave — the Civil Defense Caves. They’re about 19 miles north of Rexburg. We had generators, a huge stereo system, a disco ball and strobe lights. It was awesome,” Chad Johnson, a junior from Kimberly, Idaho, said.

When planning the perfect party, do not forget the standard BYU-I holds. Big college parties do not have to include drugs, alcohol or making out.

“I always just thought that parties without alcohol are the best. People are themselves. They’re not acting weird because of the drugs,” Rachelle Munn, a sophomore from Prosser, Wash., said.

Explains the lack of beer cans but I didn't know they would leave so much trash behind.

I got a new computer with a bunch of hard drive space, so I'm copying my archived pictures from way back onto it. I'll have more when it's finished, way more dating back to 2001..


Sorry Nate, but that car sucked wicked bad..

Another pretty good beer drinking location

The combination of the altitude and the 9% beer worked out quite well. It's not quite on par witht the trapeze, but I thought it was pretty fun..

Was the atmopheric pressure during the age of the dinosaurs 3-5 times what it is today...

Nerd alert: Yes nerdy but very interesting and a quick read. Saw him present this at a conference a couple years back.

Major points as to why it is not the 1 bar we have today:

Giant flying dinosaurs couldn't have enough power to fly. Counter explanations explain that they were not flyers but gliders walking to the top of cliffs and soaring down.


How could a huge long necked dinosaur pump blood to its brain? Counter explanations are funny including multiple hearts, always holding their necks horizontal to the ground, or hearts located not in the chest but the neck.


He goes through calculations and all can be adjusted by changing the pressure. Interesting thoughts.

optimum beer drinking location study

Through much data collection and field trials I have determined that one of the many optimum locations for consuming beer is on a Hobie trapeze.

For a bonus point, or a beer, what point of sail is the boat on in the above picture?

Mountains, fuck they got some pretty good ones here.

All right, who's ready for some caving? (picture Liz jumping up and down with her hand in the air screaming "me, me, oh, pick me) The first cave is up Darby Canyon north of Driggs, ID. It is called the Darby Canyon Wind Cave and actually connects to an ice cave higher up, you can see both caves on a topo map. The other is a lava tube that could be up to a 6000ft round trip. It is called the Civil Defense Cave and is north of Rexburg, ID. Looks like the weekend of Sept. 27 might be the canidate for the trip. Probably go something like meet someplace in Idaho late Friday night with drinking untill Sunday with some caving interspaced in there.
