Summer Caving Trip!

When: July 9, 2009

Leave time: 10:15 AM Bi-Lo at the foot of Signal Mountain

Return time: About 5:00PM -Everyone will call home when we start the ride home.

What: Caving trip to an area cave about 1:30 minute drive from the base of the base of Signal Mountain.

Who: Chris Swafford, Doranne Lane, and members from the Chattanooga Grotto are inviting confirmed students from SMMHS --Call Chris Swafford at 423-236-forty-nine forty-five

Cost: $6 donation for use of the borrowed helmets/lights

Items to Bring:

1. Helmet (provided)

2. Lights (bring two and one will be provided on helmet)

3. Long Paints & Long sleeved shirt

4. Gloves: Gardening gloves with thick rubber will keep your hands warm and minimize cuts and scrapes.

5. A large plastic trash bag

6. Knee Pads

7. Lunch Snacks & Water

8. Large mouthed Gatorade bottle: Crush-proof container for human wastes -Pack it in, Pack it out!

9. Boots with lugs (cheap ones can be bought at Wal-mart)

10. A small, strong, lightweight pack

11. A new set of cloths and shoes to wear on the ride home.

12. Money for fast-food

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.
