We meet at the Cave of the Winds Pavilion in Manitou Springs about 11:30. There was a board meeting we got into the cave about 12:30 and spent about 3½ hours in the cave ,Carl Bern, Amy Bern, my dad, Bruce, Ed, Victor(who's first grotto meeting was the same night my dad went) and I. It was a very dry cave only features were dried mud and drip holes in the dry mud. We split up into 2 groups Amy me and my dad, Talon Victor and I were in one group. Did a ton of crawling and ended up at Idiots Paradise. It was a 20 ft climb on a rope. My dad climbed up to the top but didn't do any exploring up there. There were 2 leads at the top. On the way down he lost one of his Home-Depot knee pads. Since no one could find it and he was too tired to climb back up Amy climbed up to the top. We later discovered his knee pad had rolled into a lower lead but victor and I were unable to see it.
