On Friday, we will meet at the church at 530 to load gear then depart at 6 pm sharp for Carter Caves Ky.
We will be camping in the CC camping primitive area.
Saturday go caving inside Laurel and Horn Hollow Cave. (see caving packing list below)
Bring a LARGE trashbag to put your caving clothes in afterwards. They WILL be dirty. Really dirty.
We do have some helmets (required) but you may want to bring your own (a bike helmet can work), as well as work gloves (not snow) and knee & elbow pads.
You are also required to have 3 sources of light. Flashlight, headlamp, etc. THREE! It's a magic number.
There may be time for swimming since they have a pool. Bring a suit just in case.
