Caving
Yo,
In late August there is a huge caving-palooza at Seneca Rocks in WV. The rocks and moutains in the area are gorgeous and great for hiking (Monoghaela Park and Dollysods, i can't spell). I went to the West Virginia Caving Conference and did lots of caving. That was about 150 people or more. This one should be even more. Lot's more. There's a newbie cavers camp, a "drunk camp" and a drunk/naked camp. Did I mention there will be some great caving. If you're interested let me know and I can look for more information or just go to a search engine and type in caving stuff. See ya out there!

Scullcap, I think Carter caves is pretty cool. Not a good place to backpack but for dayhiken its okay. No, its not Senica rocks, but only about 45min. drive for us.

Yeah, dayhiking and looking at the caves is what Carter Caves Park is all about. And it is very good for both. Did you see the waterfall cave?

Yea, I think I know the cave your talkin about. Taking my wife down there tomorrow. She has'nt hiked in a while. She'll probly complain the whole time. Oh well, atleast I'm gettin her out there. Goin to do the 7.5 mile 4-C's trail. That water goin into Smokey Valley Lake is about as blue as water gets around here. I do alot of backpackin at Shawnee Forest, Ohio.
