Cory:
I'm not sure why folks are directing you to the
Huntsville Grotto, when you didn't specify what part of the state you were in.(Or did I miss that?
) Any local grotto can take you to some awesome caves; just go to the NSS homepage and click on "Find a local caving club," and see what is in your area. Go to meetings, get involved, go on cave trips, and that two years will be over with before you know it. If you don't get invited on a cave trip, ASK! Most grottos will take new folks caving without being asked to; after all, that's really what grottos are for. Our grotto (Gadsden) has some new folks, and we have taken them to several caves in just a month or two. If you are in the area, check us out!
