Greetings!
I am a new caver and am starting a new series of artwork based on caves. I attended my first NSS convention two weeks ago in Lewisburg, West Virginia. In August I plan to visit caves for 3 weeks in Missouri, Arkansas, and Tennessee to take photographs for source material. So far I am only planning to visit show caves but would love to visit some non show caves if I can meet up with some area grotto members. I started a Kickstarter project to fund this trip and I have some cool artwork for you for various pledge amounts. I need to raise the money by July 27th or I do not go on the trip due to lack of funds. Please check it out and forward it to anyone you think would be interested in it. Be sure to watch the video - it is only 3 minutes and explains everything.
