the bat cave

[DOODLE BUGG]

coming back from ash ville today saw a sign that said bat cave this way i thought man that's cool so we turn and go about 20 miles off the highway an see all kinds of sign that say bat cave but we finally found it an its only open from June till augest i thought this sucks they said its suppose to be one of the biggest lake caves in the US i have been to mammoth caves before does any one know of any cave tours around the south east were you are actually getting off of a path just guided by a pro i want me an the wife to do something different some one hereought to no of some thing hey we could even make it a group thing

[callahan]

you could look into Cumberland Caverns or the Lost Sea
they're both pretty popular and not too far
both caves offer daytime walk through tours as well as overnight stays where you camp out in the cave and they take you on a guided "wild" tour where you can get down and dirty, do some real spelunking. both of these caves have electricity so you can go get dirty then come back to the lights and get cleaned up before bed

but if you really want fun look up Racoon Mtn its still pretty raw, one of the best caves in the area to visit

and i'd be totally down for a group trip, group rates are usually cheaper too

also keep in mind its always 65 degrees underground so you can go anytime of year

There is a cave in Trenton Ga that's not guided. It's an easy(beginner) cave that I took at the time my 7 year old daughter through. It's call Howard's cave. I have a map of the cave if you're interested.

I do a fair amount of caving. I'm taking a boy scout group this weekend and next weekend to a place near LaFayette. I'f you've never done it before I'd suggest one of the sites Callahan posted.

Where you going? Petty Johns, we took the boys there. Awsome cave!

Caving is awesome, but I havent done any dry caving in long time.

[peregrine67]

Petty John's is the only place I take boy scouts. but I've been in quite a few other ones in the area too.

i say we make plans an go my wife wants to go so i think it would be cool to get a group an go an get dirty iv been to mamoth caves but thats kind of cool but a hour on a walk way just isnt the real deal i want to see some cool stuff lets figure some thing out might have to be the first of the year

[peregrine67]

Sure. There's great camping close by. Lets wait 'til after hunting season though. The cave is on WMA land and camping in the area is awfully crowded during the season.
