I answered the phone one night and this fellow from Michigan was asking me if our relatively new caving club could take a large group of scouts on a cave trip. I offered many reasons why we couldn't but he was very persuasive and seemed to have all the basic needs covered.
Next weekend the Eastern Indiana Grotto will accompany BSA Troop 43 on our 20th annual caving adventure. Over the last two decades many friendships have developed and many young (and not so young) folks have shared a marvelous adventure. I'm proud of this milestone and want to thank everyone who's been involved.
Over the years we have shared our love for caves with many youth groups but they were the first. Glad I answered the phone that night.
