Itinerary:

Bible Springs,

Bible Springs is a great beginner's cave that even experienced cavers can enjoy, and is currently my favorite "fun" cave. Beginners are encouraged and welcome. This is a great cave to get your "feet wet" and to gain some experience. I have updated the difficulty to a d3 due to possible scrambling, or water crawls.

Caution:
This is a wet cave, so appropriate clothing is recommended! Please no cotton. This is for personal and group safety!!

I will not have any rental gear available so buy, borrow, or steal (don't) all the required items.

ALL TIMES ARE EASTERN TIME ZONE

We will eat dinner in chattanooga as a group if desired.

Caving Helmet (no bike helmets)

Carpool Cost:

Estimated cost per vehicle for this event is $97.60 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.
