Howdy family! Have you ever wanted to go spelunking but were unsure how to find an optimal cave, were worried about getting lost, didn't have gear, etc.? Well not to worry!

Have you ever seen a cave tree? You can, and lots more on this trip! Prepare to get muddy on this fantastic day trip. See you soon! Exploring caves in the southeast requires some class 3 scrambling, crawling, and lots of mud. Groups are usually in the cave 4 hours or more depending on pace.
