Itinerary:

I'm calling it secret because I don't know were I'm going yet. Also, most likely, it will be a cave I haven't done yet. So, that makes this an
Exploratory Trip
Since this is exploratory, that means:

We may have problems finding the cave, although I should have really good directions.
We may have a hard time finding the correct passage to get to the cool stuff.
We may run into cave monsters.

But, whichever cave I pick, I will make sure it is beginner friendly. For those that have caved with me before, you know I done this long enough to be perfectly comfortable in a new cave. Let's discover the sights & sensations of it together.

If you have never caved before, what you see above is the 20 feet long, fierce, maneating, cave salamander who can eat you in just one bite.
If you have caved before, shhhhh, don't tell the new guys that this salamander is only 6" and likes to eat bugs. :-)

Notes:

You may get very 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.

After we're done caving, we'll stop for Mexican Food at a great place I know in Chattanooga.
