Marengo Cave OvernightMarengo CaveAnthony Lewis
Please join us for some spelunking and an overnight stay in Marengo Cave. AOL’s are also invited to join us. If AOL’s would like to join us, please let me know since you will not be able to RSVP on scoutbook.
This is a one-night outing on Friday night. We will depart St. Edward between 5:00 and 6:00 on Friday and return Saturday morning around 10:00.
All we need to bring is our essentials, a complete change of clothes, and a bed roll (sleeping bag, sleeping pad). The clothes we wear in the cave will get very wet and very muddy. Knee pads and elbow pads are a nice comfort you can bring while caving. They will provide helmets with headlights.
We will be doing some guided tours through some undeveloped sections of the 4.6 mile cave system. We will take a leisurely stroll through Marengo Cave’s Dripstone Trail and Crystal Palace tours. We will sleep in the cave over 200 feet below ground. The cool 52-degree cave will be welcomed warmth in the middle of winter. https://www.marengocave.com/groups/night-in-cave/nic-3
Due to fundraising, the cost is reduced from $100 per person to only $60 per person.
Please RSVP by December 31 so that we can make our reservation.
A waiver will need to be completed.
More details to come.
