Hey everyone!

 Here is some of the info on
Mammoth Caves:

 We are leaving this Friday around
2:30pm, we will meet at the back
door of Strong hall. There are seven of us going that I am aware of so
we will need two cars, keep in mind the GeoClub is paying for gas! If
you have a car that is in decent condition and are willing to drive
please let me know as soon as possible!

The website for the park is

http://gorp.away.com/gorp/resource/us_national_park/ky/index_mamm.htm
please check it out for activities you might enjoy doing while you are
down there as we do not have to do everything as a group.

The website referenced below is a good list of things to bring
camping. If you are unsure about what to bring ask someone!

If you have any questions feel free to call or e-mail me and I will
more than happy to answer them for you! With all of that being said,
please get pumped up for a very cool trip!
