Yeah, I definitely have missed this place. I may not be allowed to skydive when I'm home, but I'm going caving (spelunking) all day on sunday!! I guess if I can't be above the ground, I'll go under it!

Is anyone in or near nashville? You're more than welcome to come!

Where you going Caving?? Which Cave? I know the TAG caves real well. Used to to be really big into spelunking. I used to mainly do Vertical Work and Pits (Cagles Casm, Neversink, Ellison’s).

The Roaming DZ is actually putting together a Caving Trip in January sometime. Probably going tp Petty Johns in Lafayette.

Attached a pic of Fantastic Pit in Ellison’s.

I admire your nerve...I wouldn't be good at the caving thing unless they are large caves, which most are not from what I've seen on Discovery, etc.

I actually get a little claustrophobic-panic just watching some of the tight squeezes cavers wiggle through on t.v., and underwater caving...forget it.

You have lots of fun and be safe!

Yep. Bring Knee pads!! You will need then.

Are going with someone that knows the cave?



Not exactly. I'm going with an old guy friend from high school... and neither of us have been there before, and we heard it's hard to find. But that's what makes it an adventure!!

I think it would be awesome to go caving with you guys. Can I offer some input on when?? It seems when you guys plan something, I've got prior engagements...so, if you are talking sometime in January...please don't do it the second weekend, I will be in Orlando cheering my sister in law on in a marathon...so, any other time would be cool.

Gail, have fun, be safe and make sure that other people know where you are going. :)

As long as you keep your clothes on, I guess it's ok.
Have fun.






Sorry, I'm not doing any naked caving this sunday... or am I? Just kidding! It will be good fun. I love spending time in nature and being away from the city. I get so much engergy from it!

ONly been spelunking twice...both times we took the Cub Scouts to soem place in Tennessee (can't remember the name.

There was a section that was quite tight and before you could go through it you had to prove you could fit through the mile-long section by squeezing yourself through a wooden box about 24 inches wide by about 18 inces tall...no fit, no go.

All the boys fit and only two of us Dads fit. We had a blast.
My reality and yours are quite different.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

If familial matters get tense, take a drive up to the Fort Campbell sometime next week or weekend. My wife and I will be home for the holiday, just up the way in Hopkinsville.;)
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!
