13. Each person on the trip will need to provide parent contact info, health info, and carry an insurance card. This is so we will not need it!
FYI: We will be in water so warm clothing will be a very good idea. I'm planning about four hours in the cave. Getting food on the way home will keep us out longer than 5 PM. Everyone will be asked to call home after we get out of the cave to let parents know when we plan to return.
