I spoke with the tour operator again today and he said they have 30 kayaks of all types available for anybody that doesn't want to bring their own. Personally I feel more comfortable in my own boat. He said that if you bring your own boat you would not have to carry it very far to get it in the water.

I've done this before. It definitely is worth going one time. I had brought my kayak, but it would have been easier just to use theirs - same cost. As Kathy notes, not the best of kayaks, but not a big deal for this.

I've done it in the past. It gets quite Cold in there so dress appropriately. They supplied their kayaks which weren't great , but avoided trying to haul them to cave opening and back . A head lamp would be good to bring. Have fun. Kathy

Group Registration is now enabled.

Jane, you may have to delete your individual registration and register as a group, or Paul can sign up individually.

Actually I don't know what that does for sure, I've never used it. I do know that when you sign up for an event you have the option to register as a group, but I've never done that either.

I just signed up and want to bring 3 non-members so we're at 12 people now. That "Invite Friend" is just for other club members, right?

I would imagine most people will paddle individually, if you want to bring a tandem kayak or canoe to paddle with another person that is entirely up to you. All the trip information is on the club website: Calendar > August > Cool Cave Tour > Trip Information. At the bottom you will see a tab [ Invite Friend ]

I registered for myself but also want to register Paul for this trip. Will you send me more details about this trip and what is required. Are we kayaking individually? Jane at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

As I noted in the trip information section the tour will cost $40/person. If we get eight or more people to go he will drop the price to $35/person. At the present time there are 7 people signed up for the tour. Considering that is about what we would pay an outfitter for a shuttle on a river trip it doesn't sound too bad for a unique experience.

Gary, I don't see the prices on the website. Do you know how much it is?

I spoke with the tour operator this morning, he is open for business as of today and our cave tour is still on. Because of the ongoing issues with the virus I think it best that everyone drive to Crystal City in their own vehicles. He mentioned that he has been having trouble with his credit card reader so it would be best if everyone could bring cash $$$$$. Here is a link to Crystal City Underground.

We tried to do this last year but unfortunately the cave was flooded, hopefully this year it will work out. What could be better than spending a hot August Saturday in the cool darkness of a flooded underground sand mine?
