i still wanna go somewhere on Thursday when i get there. Hopefully will be there by noon, sewt up camp, so if anyone wants to go caving around 3pm let me know, something easy since it's after my drive up.

Friday morning I will be doing a photo trip to Cedar Ridge Crystal if anyone wants to go (also can someone point me in the direction of the key) and friday afternoon I am going to Bible Springs Cave

Saturday morning going to gourdneck sink, not sure how long that trip will be since I am going with some other florida folks, hopefully will have time to stop somewhere else afterwards

No plans yet for sunday other than breakfast and breaking camp, so if anyone wants to go anywhere

Hey Wendy,

We'll be there setting up on Thursday around noonish ourselves and were planning on making a trip somewhere but haven't decided exactly where yet. We were thinking about Sheldon over in Scottsboro. It's a vertical trip, only about 75 feet. Let me know if you are interested.

i was hoping for smething horizontal as my vertical skills are a little rusty.

I would be interested in going to Sheldon Thursday afternoon of the Cave-In and bounce the pit. But, I might have to catch a ride with someone if I go.

I will lead the Tumbling Rock trip on Saturday after breakfast. Anyone wanting to go please meet me at the food stand. I will take the big spots and a couple other goodies. Photo ops may present themselves so wear some color if you have it :grin: and be prepared for a good time with an almost sane caver.

P.S. Wendy- if you guys go to Gourdneck dont forget your vert gear. They pulled the ladders out of the entrance about a year back. Its only about a 20' climbdown but could be hairy for some so be careful.

Bring your coolers and chairs and come prepared to stay the evening and be entertained to the max. This year, we have a very special entertainer comming and, and........well, I hate to be secretive like some here, but.....well, I will give you a hint......."1st".

If you have an act or routine and haven't been participating these last few years and would like your 15 minutes of fame.....shoot me an email so I can put you on the list.

Just received official word, I have Friday, Oct. 5th off!! So, I told Wendy I would lead a trip to Bible Springs on Friday. We will meet at the Krystal's at the Kimball/S. Pittsburgh exit at 1pm (EST). Please let me know ahead of time if you are a definite. I may be able to do 2 trips, but the latter would be late afternoon, early evening.

PM me and I will give my phone number for those wanting to go and needing directions....
I love caving!! As long as I don't break a nail....

Where is everyone settin gup camp? I usually set up over by the meadow, but this year i think i want to be a little closer to the bathhouse/spa and fire area, so i was thinking over on dogwood lane would be good.

Anyone have an address or map coords I can plug in my GPS so I can get a little better idea of the driving time I'm gonna be dealing with?
