JANUARY 2009 - This is a Timpanogos Grotto special event for our members and their guests. The date has not yet been firmed up.

LIMITED SIZE - Due to the nature of the Blowhole Cave, the group size is limited to just 6 cavers per trip. To deal with the demand, we are going to stagger groups into the cave every 2 hours. The first will enter at 9 AM and be set to exit by 11 AM. The next group will enter at 11 AM and be set to exit by 1 PM. The third group will then enter at 1 PM and exit by 3 PM.

VERTICAL SKILLS - Blowhole Cave requires vertical caving experience. If you need training, then speak up and we will schedule a time to learn how to do it before the day of the tour.

ABOVE GROUND BBQ - We will take out a campstove, griddle, and water pot so that hot chocolate and food can be prepared and devoured at the surface of the cave. It may be beautiful, or it might be snowing. This is a rain or shine event. Trip Leaders can make food assignements for their groups.

SIGN-UP - If you would like to participate as a Trip Leader or caver, then make your reservation now. Submit the following reservation form. So far we have Max Barker and Kent Foreman slated as Trip Leaders. The time slot reservations and groups are still very loose with many people expressing interest, but not yet signed up for the event. Sign up now.

FEE - The trip is FREE for Grotto members. We ask that you share the burden of travel expenses and bring your fair share of the meal that you will enjoy together.
