2009 WSS Hodag Hunt - Sept. 11-13

Postby Cavernuke » Aug 16, 2009 2:48 pm

The 2009 WSS Hodag Hunt will be September 11, 12 & 13 at Maribel Caves County Park in Manitowoc County in eastern Wisconsin, between Milwaukee and Green Bay. The Hodag Hunt gets it's name from the fact that the first documented capture of a Hodag took place in Wisconsin in 1893 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodag); today, Hodags are found in caves all over the world. Our own captive Hodag will be hidden in one of the caves; the lucky finder will receive a prize.

We will have numerous horizontal and a couple vertical trips. We will also showcase the WSS' legendary materials handling skills for dealing with caves clogged with glacial sediment. Be aware, though, that these are not TAG, Kentucky or Indiana caves.... these are much smaller. For further information, see http://www.caves.org/grotto/wss/hodag2009.html
