Also I notived you have 819 for your NSS #...but you say you never relaly caved before, what's up with that? just curious.
I just signed up then realized most there seemed to be experienced cavers. Maybe I was supposed to wait until I had some experience under my belt? Oops! I did go to caves.org searching for local groups, but as far as I can see the nearest is Fresno.

mmmm, BBQ!
The San Joaquin Valley Grotto is the closest and may be my best option. Are meetings mandatory before someone is allowed to take part in one of the trips? Although I'd love to attend a meeting, the three hour drive (six, round trip), is a little much. My hope was that I could meet at an event and see what it's all about. Of course, I would research as much possible and attempt to be as prepared as possible before the trip. Maybe I could make up meeting time by logging too many hours reading here? haha.
Thanks for your help!
