30 Years in 52 Weeks – Week 35

Caving in Tennessee

Don and I went caving in Tennessee during a National Speleological Society convention. Of course it rained a lot but that is the reason for their spectacularly large cave systems. We went into Logging Road Cave and Cedar Ridge Crystal Cave, both in Tennessee. We also did a trip into Russell Cave in nearby Alabama during that convention. I love caving in TAG country, TAG affectionately referring to Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia in the caving community for the huge borehole passages in the caves of those states. In Russell Cave, we saw a bat in the stream. Our friend Patty saved it from drowning, warmed its wings in her hands and eventually it flew off. You just never know what you’ll see in a cave.
Let’s go!
