Kirby Canyon Discovery 1 May 2008 |

|
| Working my way down this arroyo, following the sound of trickling water. |
|
| The source was a limestone ledge. |
|
| Over time, a small cavern had formed. Stalagtites hung from its ceiling. |
|
| Several limestone "straws" dripped water. |
|
| Fascinated, I decided to see if I could catch a drip in mid-air. |
|
| Due to its size, broad surface, I focusd on the center stalactite. |
|
| Barely caught this drip, very difficult due to the palm-sized camera I was using. |
|
| After several tries, finally succeeded. |
|
| Closer look at the largest stalactite. Its surface liquid too fragile to touch. |
|
| Cavern is in a rugged area, completely screened from view. |
