Caving Trip - Cumberland Caverns
This overnight adventure begins as you enter the cave in the afternoon, not to emerge until the next morning. Spend the night crawling, climbing, squeezing, and squashing through amazing sights, spectacular rooms, and unsurpassed formations.
Payment deadline: February 25th
You will camp-out underground in the 10-Acre Room with all the comforts a true caveman/ cavewoman would expect, including fully functional underground rest room facilities at the campsite in the "Ten Acre Room." But, will you be able to sleep after hearing accounts of the Cumberland Caverns ghost?
In the morning, before you see the light of day, your group will be treated to a continental breakfast in the cave. You will find out that fun and adventure “waits below” for you.
Will you get muddy? Yes! Will you get tired? Yes! Will you make it through the night? That’s yet to be seen.
They will provide all of the caving gear, you will need a sleeping bag and/sleeping pad for overnight stay.
Electrical outlets are available in the cave at the underground campsite for air-mattress pumps.
We now have indoor-underground plumbing in the cave with fully functional rest room facilities. (We don't have all the bats potty-trained yet, but we're working on it.)
Additional rest room facilities and showers are available outside the cave as well.
The Volcano Room Ballroom is equipped with audio-visual equipment for movie viewing or presentations. With picnic-table seating for well over 250, we can meet the needs of your group.
A snack bar is located close by our underground campsite. You may want a quick snack after your great Spelunking Adventure

What specifically is being provided and what must I bring with me? If I understand this correctly, we'll be staying overnight in the cave.

Kevin, let me confirm: are we getting in the cave on Saturday at 5 PM and getting out Sunday in the morning? When and where do we meet as a group? I need to plan my trip since I'll be coming from Atlanta. Thank you!

Is anyone driving from Atlanta? Any interest in carpooling?

I'm interested in carpooling - wd prefer to rideshare as opposed to driving ('cos I'll get lost anywhere!). I live nr Decatur but can meet anywhere in ATL. Thanks, Judi

Judi, I can drive and you can carpool with me. Just FYI, I'll leave no later than 8:30 on Sunday morning because I need to be back in ATL by 2PM.

I already have Judi riding with me, so I can only take two more: you and someone else. I have a Scion, so it's not a large car and can only fit 3 passengers.

I can take some people in my pickup. vickie/hali. It has a back seat so I can take 3 and throw syuff in the back. I just got the directions and realized its a 4 hour trip. I would give myself a extra 30 to 45 to be safe so I guess I'd needed to be heading up around noon.

Oscar, are you talking about the kid that started screaming in the middle of the night? He was screaming: "I smell pee", that's what the girl told us :) Bizarre but part of the experience :)

Oscar Sierragreat cavern times. Enough adventure and crawling and exploring in the dark. Great guide, Kevin, the IT guy who is all about caving. I meant to ask ppl what was up w/ that young girl w/ the other big group there who in the middle of the night freaked out. Anyone remember that?
