Over in southeast Missouri, between Eminence and Round Spring you will find fun things to do. Check out "Devil's Well" as you can do that by yourself. Even better, ask around to see if there is some caver that knows how to actually rappel into it. I think there is a light-bulb at the bottom that some caver is lucky enough to be in charge of. Round Spring Cave has a lantern tour, I think.
Lots of good swimming and some cliff-diving around there. There is a commercial cave around there somewhere, and several north of there. On my trip there I had hoped to tour Cathedral Cave, but I missed the only tour, or it wasn't running when I got there. Worse case scenario, is some caves have expensive wild tours. David Locklear P.S. I was officially was an active GHG member from 1989 to 1992 & 1994 to 1995 ) I have worked in Houston for 27 years, but never really lived there, unless you consider being a vagabond as living. I lived in College Station in 1993 and was active in A.S.S. that year and had little contact with GHG except for seeing a few of the active members at TCR, several of whom are no longer with us or vanished or moved far away. All of that is a very fuzzy memory now. I bumped into Charles Fromen about 3 weeks ago. He and I visited Las Grutas del Precipicio in 1991. And in 1989 we went to Minas Viejas cave called Cuchillo. His son and experienced caver, Carl Philip Fromen owns an impressive shop repairing large industrial earth-movers in the town of Cypress, meaning large backhoes, bull-dozers, cranes, etc. I hope to go back to Missouri as a tourist again someday. Still no word on my Sequoia yet. Man that s*cks.
