Trip to Howard's Waterfall cave.

Today, 8-3-08, I picked up Johnathan "wolf" and we went to Howard's Waterfall cave. My nephew (Phillip) and my wife (Heather) were with us and we were hoping that my wife could experience going underground for the first time. She got about 15 feet into the entrance when her claustrophobia took over and decided this was not for her. I am very proud of her for trying. She got in the car and visited a family member while the 3 of us went into the cave.
While we were outside the entrance, we met a couple of cavers from out of town ( Stephanie and Cole ) that had never been to this cave before and did not have a map, so we invited them to tag along. They were very nice, and we enjoyed their company, and I hope they enjoyed ours.
We chose to go to the Disaster room for this trip. Johnathan made the trip very interesting by showing us some crawls and alternate routes that I've overlooked in the past, as well as making sense of the geology of the rock and formations.
I wish we had more time to explore, and I can't wait for our next cave.
Anthony.

Hi,

I am responding to the post dated 8-3-08. A group of 6-8 of us are planning on going rock climbing in Sand Rock, AL. I have been inside Howard's Waterfall Cave twice before but never with a good map or other information about the cave. We would like to revisit the cave on this trip and I was wondering if anybody might have any maps and/or additional information advice for us. If so, my phone number is (269) 325-6720 and my name is Fred. My email address is boothby@andrews.edu.

Thanks,
Fred

Hi Fred!

You should contact the SCCi and they should be able to provide you with the information you need. They own and manage the access to Howards Waterfall Cave.

Hope this helps!
