A few years ago we started a tradition of going on a caving trip every January with Joey and Aimee. This year we camped a Fall Creek Falls state park. On Saturday we went to Camp's Gulf. "Camps Gulf Cave, located in Van Buren County, Tennessee, is renowned for its large chambers. This four-plus-mile cave contains no less than three humongous rooms, one of which (measuring over 400 by 700 feet in size) is one of the most volumous cave chambers east of the Mississippi River. The cave is so vast, and the chambers so difficult to navigate, explorers routinly never make it out of the first room." For a horizontal trip with almsot no crawling Camp's Gulf was pretty rough. It was 5 hours of climbing over break down. We pushed back to the fourth room which is the smallest but where the best formations are. We were supposed to do Rumbling Falls the next day but Aimee was too sick. I was mad that Joey was going to make her go when she was sick. Of course I made Jason go the year that he was sick and he ended up getting bronchitis because of me.Ha.
Anyway there was plenty to do at the park where we were camped. We packed a lunch a did a little day hike to the falls.
