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: | |||||||
| Lost Creek Cave, This is a fun cave located near Sparta, Tn. There is plenty of passage in this cave so it will be a longer day. The Cave is located in a sink and faces a 60-foot tall waterfall. Inside are huge rooms and compact spaces for exploring. There is also 40-foot tall waterfall inside that we will be hunting! We will spend some time taking pictures so I recommend that everyone have an extra shirt or jacket in their cave packs. Since it is a 3 hour ride from Kennesaw, I am planning on Camping on site friday night. It will be cold but this is car camping so bring plenty of warm items. Friday: 6:15 pm - Arrive at Carpool 6:30 pm - Leave For Sparta, Tn 10:00 pm - Setup Camp Saturday: 9:00 am - Breakfast 10:00 am - break camp/gear up 10:30 am - Enter Cave 4:00 or sooner pm - Exit Cave/change clothes 4:30 or sooner pm - Leave for Kennesaw CCT/P&R Dinner - will be a group decision I am posting this as a D3 trip, not a great beginners cave; however, a physically fit member should be able to make this cave trip and enjoy themselves. That said, there will now be AOC helmets for rent. They are $10 for a helmet and light. ***This does not include batteries*** I need to know ASAP who needs one. | |||||||

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. | |||||
