Itinerary:
Hi Everyone,

We will be hitting Four Kings cave this Sunday. 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:

I recommend, from personal experience, to wear lightweight hiking pants and a long-sleeve quick dry shirt.
