hello cavers,
Im totally new here to the nss even though i have been doing it a few years. to find out about the nss that there are so many others out there that enjoy caving is so awesome!!! especially that you guys put so much attention to the conservation of these caves. Im hoping to learn from all your experiance and to grow in my knowledge.

Hello Brandon!

We're glad to have you here with us and congratulations on joining the NSS. You'll meet a bunch of great cavers/friends here.

Where do you live? Have you found a local Grotto yet?

Brandon,

Here's a list of the Grottos in Georgia.

http://www.nssio.org/find_grotto_overview.cfm?state=GA

There are several great ones available there and in the surrounding states. Good luck and let me know if I can help out any way.

If you feel like driving to Alabama to go caving, you can be part of my grotto there, Jackson County/Scottsboro Grotto. I guess you are not vertical yet. If you want to learn, we do have training trips at Bucks Pocket State Park. Contact Milton Polsky at mlpol@scottsboro.org, if you are interested in joining. I believe you said you was a NSS member. If you are then you can be a full member.

We don't have grotto meetings in a since like other grotto's. Our grotto meetings are actually caving trips.

Hi Brandon,

I replied to your email to the Pigeon Mountain grotto so hopefully you should have some info on the next meeting which happens to be this Friday, August 1.
Let me know if you need any more help there.
