Are Dogs Permitted:

Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

Hi Everyone,

We will be hitting Four Kings cave this weekend. This is not a "new" cave, just new to me and the others that I have tried to get some info on it. I hope to get a full group of 8 for plenty of passage scouting and exploring. As this cave is in T.A.G., i would expect to get wet and muddy but have a blast in the process. Time permitting we will try to eat dinner as a group on the way back.

Please note before signing up:

This is a moderately advanced trip. Caving experience, Climbing experience, and personal gear is a must and is a minimum. These are required for personal and group safety. I will be personally contacting everyone on the sign up sheet to go over their gear and experience. I would prefer not to remove anyone that is not yet qualified but i will be posting beginner caving trips as well in the future.

Required Items to Bring:
Caving Helmet (no bike helmets)
Headlamp (Waterproof)
2 other light sources
plenty of batteries
backpack/fanny pack
water
snacks
boots
gloves
kneepads (no hard plastics)
towell and change of clothes for ride home

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
I recommend, from personal experience, to wear lightweight hiking pants and a long-sleeve quick dry shirt.
