Hurricane Horizontal Trip

Hurricane Cave is a beginner horizontal cave. This is a wet cave with plenty of crawling so knee pads and warm clothes recommended. The trip meets at the Billygoat point campsite at 9:30am Eastern.

If you have questions about this trip contact the trip leader, Jennifer Young. Below is a quick list for new cavers of what to bring.

What To Wear & Bring

• Try to wear fast drying clothes. Synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon work best.
  Bear in mind that caves frequently destroy the clothing you take into them.
  
• • Long pants
  • Shirt - long or short sleeve
  • A light, packable jacket is recommended.
    
• Gear
• • Good sturdy boots or shoes.
    
  • • Plastic or waterproof shoes are a bad idea. They will only hold water and keep your feet wet.
      
  • A helmet with mounted light and new/fresh batteries.
  • • if you need to rent for $5, contact Joe Brown ASAP. Also, you will need to bring 6 brand new AA batteries.
  • Extra batteries for each light source protected by a water-resistant container
  • Knee pads
  • Elbow pads are optional.
  • Gloves - they don't just protect you from the cave, they protect the cave from YOU.
• Cave Pack
• • Snacks-- protein bars pack well. Put snacks in Ziploc bags to protect from getting wet.
  • Water (32oz) recommended.      
• A large plastic bag to put your dirty wet clothes and boots in.
• Clean Clothes for the ride home
