This cave is a real treat to visit, whether you've ever seen it or not. It's an easy cave, and is only about 400 feet long total, but it's just covered up with decorations. There's even decorations growing on the other decorations.

You'll need the standard caving gear:

Helmet
Three Lights
Sturdy clothing, boots.
A small pack with water and a snack.
Knee pads and gloves are recommended.

Due to the bad weather (and a bunch of winers), On Sunday March 9th, we will visit Rice Cave. The trip will not require any vertical equipment but you will need appropriate caving attire, as well as helmet and 3 light sources, etc.. This will not be a beginner trip, so leave the small kids at home (with plenty of matches).
We'll meet at the Shoney's on Bell Road/ I-24 at 8:00 AM. Come earlier if you plan to eat inside.

You will need a helmet, 3 sources of light, boots with lugged soles and good ankle support, gloves, knee pads, and clothes that you don't mind getting dirty and torn. The grotto can loan you a helmet if you notify the trip leader in advance.
