Itinerary:
Well, had to change some things up.  Weather got the best of the two caves this weekend.

Trusty Tumbling rock, has been my go-to for too much rain in the past and will have to be utilized again.  This is a warm cave, so do not layer up, you will regret it.  We will attempt going back to the Christmas Tree if there is time.  *** bring 10 dollars for SCCI  ***

This will make for a long saturday, i apologize for anyone who can no longer make it due to the later start.  Carpool leaves at 12 from kennesaw.  I will meet the group at 2 pm at the Kimball/South Pittsburgh Walmart off of I-24 in Tennessee.

12     leave Carpool
2       Meet at Kimbal Tn walmart
3       follow me to TR
3:30  pay 10 for SCCI, gear up and head in
7       be out of TR
7:30  eat dinner, head home, or camp
11pm back at the carpool for non campers
