Our favorite outdoor adventure playground always draws a crowd, so this time we chartered an entire school bus to accommodate the 35
of us who descended upon Purgatory Chasm to explore cliffs, caves, crevices, boulders, trees, trails, and just about anything else we
could ask for.
|
Venturing into the chasm, Jenny navigates a trail littered with roots and boulders. Our group divided itself into small contingents, each choosing
it's own way as we investigate the many attractions to be found.
|
Odd angles are ubiquitous within the chasm, and shocking discoveries pop up right when you least expect them! |
|
|
There are things you can fall off of (though notrecommended), which Andrew, Jill and Helen (right) and Jenny (left) perch themselves upon. |
And there are things you can fall into (as Jill can attest), which Jill, David, Andrew and Champo explore.
|
|
There are things you can squeeze through, which Helen, Therese and Jill attempt. 
|
And there are things you can climb out of (or get pulled out of), as Jill and Clark discover. |
|
|
|
There are things you can climb over, as Champo and Helen do, and things you can climb under, as Beverlie does. 
|
And last but not least, there are things with funny names you can straddle skyward, and things with dark subterranian passages you can
vanish into.
We discovered them all, we all had a blast doing it at Purgatory Chasm! |
