Itinerary:

FREE AIR CONDITIONING

This is a fun little cave to do. We'll enter through a stream bed. Once inside, we'll take the left fork of a large loop passage within the cave. We'll follow the stream until we come to a large breakdown where we'll have a snack and explore a bit. Up to this point, we'll do some crawling and get wet up to our knees and maybe waist.

We then start to head back out, but will take the the other part of the loop passage. This will involve a deeper part of the stream including a 20' swim.

If we have time, we'll check out a short side passage that has some pretty stuff to see.

Carpool Cost:

Estimated cost per vehicle for this event is $124.00 using a reimbursement rate guideline of $0.400 per mile. The total amount should be divided by the number of people in the vehicle, including the driver. This is a guideline, not a rule, for drivers but the cost should not be higher unless there are extenuating circumstances.

Notes:

You WILL get wet on this trip so synthetic material is strongly advised.
I wear nylon pants & nylon T-shirt as well as light poly pro thermals under my pants.

* We encourage all members to follow our Etiquette Guidelines while participating in AOC events.
