Taking an adventure with the county recreation department

As they climbed, crawled and hiked through the dark and rocky chambers of Buckman Cave, participants of the Los Alamos Adventure Edge program became very acquainted with the c-word.No, the word isn’t crazy; it’s courage. Even in pitch-blackness, young adults faced and defeated their fears. The Buckman Cave adventure wrapped up a series of caving activities. Each trip increased in difficulty. A beginning caving activity took participants to Junction Cave in El Malpais Jan. 21. Afterwards, an intermediate caving program was held Feb. 15-18. Young spelunkers toured Alabaster Cave in Zia Pueblo before advancing on to Buckman Cave near Santa Fe.  The cave activities were a part of the Los Alamos Recreation Department’s Adventure Edge Program. On the final trip to Buckman Cave, eight participants, whose ages ranged from 12-23, filled up the recreation van, hiked down a sandy trail and trekked up boulders to test their physical and mental capabilities.
