Weeknight Caving this Summer

Postby UnderGroundEarth » May 23, 2012 3:46 pm

Since my daughter will be in Georgia all summer with her dad I am looking to do A LOT of weeknight caving to keep me busy. If anyone in the Chattanooga area is interested in getting a trip together - horizontal or vertical - I am game and open for suggesstions.

I'd be down for that 2 or 3 nights a week. I wish I lived closer to you!

Right now I have a vertical trip lined up for May 30th to an 80ish footer near Chattanooga and then a horizontal trip on June 7th to a cave in Kimball, TN if anyone is interested.

I know, I know... But i've done it THREE times and I'm not one who likes to do a cave over and over and over and over again... If you want to do it I suppose you could twist my arm into doing it again... I haven't been to Fiery Top Drop. Jason says he doesn't care to go back and isn't interested so it's on my list to do during the week too. If I was one of those "I have a list" kind of cavers I'd also be interested in doing some other Marion County 100+ footers like Larson's Well.
