People: M&M Trybulec, Aro, A Durzynski
Place: Sokole Gory (Hawk Mountains), Pustelnica
This time we wanted to visit the Olsztynska Cave and the Wszystkich Swietych (All Saints') Cave.
Andrzej wanted to go down his first vertical cave (everything went fine).
All in all, we visited the above mentioned caves (Martha and Aro did a traverse of the two),
Schronisko Wschodnie, Posrednie and Zachodnie, Awen Zygmunta,
two small holes above Olsztynska and Szczelina Frakcji N.
Well, I had mixed feelings after this trip.
Not because of a lack of attractions in the caves themselves,
but because of peoples' moronic behavior.
Olsztynska was thoroughly filled with smoke (a group of teenagers lit a fire near the entrance),
so that you couldn't stay very long inside for the lack of breathable air.
There was a nice lump of shit in front of the entrance to another cave,
and a trash dump in yet another cave.
I guess the person that thought of the name homo sapiens was overly optimistic
or didn't know people very well... So, how can anyone believe in equality of people,
d***cracy or other sick ideas concerning peoples' governments?
Anyway we had a lot of fun and found interesting things in almost every cave.
I enjoyed most All Saints' Cave and Schornisko Zachodnie (above Zygmunt's Aven).
Olsztynska looked interesting, but the smoke didn't let us visit it for long.
Szczelina Frakcji N, on the other hand, was described by Aro
with the words: "What a b***ch!". Right... I don't think he liked it that much. :-)
