You need to have release forms for T-Rock signed ahead of time or at the cave for anyone under 18 years of age.
I have a new printer and will print off a couple of dozen. I will drop them off at the trip sign-up desk when I get to the Cave-In.
I have them also on PDF and will email them to anyone that wants a copy before hand.
South Pittsburg, Neversink, Rusteys/Cemetary, Cagles will be a waiting line in order to do them during the Cave-In.
I have gone the Neversink during the Cave-In before and there would be about 20 cars there and up to 6 ropes strung in the pit. I also remember waiting about a hour before I got to rig my rope.
Stephens Gap which is down the road from Limrock will be closed the weekend following the Cave-In for Hunting season.
That would be a good one to do even if there is a crowd there. Just make sure to check with Milton Polsky. He is in the NSS Manual
Pretty Well is another good one to do. It will close down the same time. It is 208' deep and above Limrock. You can drive and park at the bottom of the trail going up to the pit. Just don't go past the pit on the road and don't block the road. Mr. McAllister does not want anyone going past the pit up into McAllister Sinks.
War Eagle closes during the same time. Call Milton Polsky for access.
Gross/Skeleton is a real fun wet suit cave to do. Mr. Weeks who owns the lower entrance does not mind caver's parking on his land. Check with him to see where he wants you to park.
Howard's Waterfall is leased by the SCCI and will be open during the Cave-In.
