Definately going back to Sharps again this year. Had a nice trip there last year. We went to the waterfall and made our way upstream and back into the main passage. Went to Catfish Hall and poked around a bit there before heading out. This year we want to see the rest of the cave, as there was a ton we missed. Great OTR cave.

OTR is located in Randolph County WV south of Elkins in the town of Dailey, located on the Tygart Valley River.

No pre-registration. You register when you get there.

OTR is about 8 miles south of Elkins, West"By God" Virginia. It's every year on Labor Day weekend. This year is the 59th annual! I don't think ya can pre-register. You do have to be a member of The Robertson Association or be signed in as a guest by a member. :waving:

They dropped pre-registration several years ago. Dave had major problems with it and it didn't spped anything up. It just created more work for him. He already does enough, with the nice computer registration system we have on-site these days. Remember to thank Dave Fricke for his hard work! :clap: And don't forgot the many other volunteers that make OTR great.....
