This is a trip to Howards waterfall Cave which is a beginner horizontal cave. This is a dry cave with some crawling so knee pads are recommended. The trip will meet at the food outlet in Trenton at 10am Eastern. The address is 4645 GA-136, Trenton, GA 30752. 

When you sign up for this trip be sure to fill out the scci permit that is linked near the bottom of the confirmation email. If you have questions about this trip contact the trip leader Tim Rainey or the DCG trip coordinator Jordan Overton. Below is a quick list for new cavers of recommended things 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

Gear
    • Good sturdy boots or shoes.
    • A helmet with mounted light and new/fresh batteries.
      • if you need to rent for $5, contact Alex Lambie 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
