John Hickman will be leading a "mystery" cave trip on March 24 to a cave located in the Monteagle area. It is a horizontal cave that requires some scrambling up rocks to get through the cave (a hand line will be used). It may also be a little wet, but not swimming. Meeting time and place to be updated later. To find out more, contact John.

Hardin's Cave is a horizontal cave in Davidson County that is suitable for cavers of all experience levels and children. There will be some crawling involved, as well as climbing over piles of breakdown. The cave has a stream, so you should expect to at least get your feet wet.

You will need to bring:
Sturdy, warm clothes that will get wet, muddy, and torn.
Boots with good ankle support and lugged soles.
