Hi fellow cavers. Glad to finally be able to open talk with other cavers. Last year, I joined the Huntsviile Grotto and have been what I call real caving for over a year. My first experience with caves started with a surprise trip to Mammoth Cave on my fifth birthday. While I was there one of the NPS rangers gave me one of their caving helmets and I was hooked. I have been looking for, finding, and exploring caves since them. I am so glad to be caving at such a young age.
