Kentucky "beginners" looking for the right place to start!
Posted: Jun 9, 2013 10:51 pm
Hello all!
My girlfriend and I have been interested in getting into caving as a hobby for a while now. Just recently we gave Mammoth's "Wild Cave Tour" a go and LOVED IT. Being healthy young people, avid hikers, etc. we had no issues with the physical aspect. We're looking for an answer and some direction as to how we go about gaining more experience and knowledge to make this a full-time hobby. I've looked into joining a Grotto, and maybe I'm not looking in the right place, but I can't seem to find info on prerequisites for the groups and where to gain valuable caving skills if we don't meet those requirements. We're located near Owensboro, KY and would greatly appreciate any direction we can get! Thanks in advance!
