Smokehole was a fun cave to explore.

After the cave we changed and Joe proceeded to drive quickly down the primitive, rocky, road which literally crossed a little stream. Joe ended up running over a tree stump which punctured the tire.

We got out of the truck and assessed the situation. Unfortunately, Joe didn't have the correct size tire iron. We were extremely fortunate, however, that Andrew drove his vehicle to the cave also. Joe and Andrew drove back down to GSP to see if anyone had the size tire iron they'd need.

The rest of us, George, Leila, Michelle and I pulled out Joe's camp chairs and made ourselves comfortable. As we sat in the middle of nowhere, awaiting their return, we sipped wine and ate some cheese. Luckily Joe's cooler had still been in his truck. We were anxious for their return as we were starving.

We were just glad the flat happened after CCIC and Smokehole and not before!
