*Caving at Cascade Caverns* 2012 TSA Spring Convention March 30-April 1st, 2012 226 Cascade Caverns Road, Boerne, Texas 78015 http://www.cascadecaverns.com/
Here's what's up regarding caving this weekend: Access to caves is limited to scheduled tours. Registration to the TSA Spring Convention includes entrance to a regular scheduled tour of Cascade Caverns. These tours are the regular scheduled tours open to the public. Since the regular tours are mostly during the presentations, our group has 2 extra chances to visit the cave. *The 1-hour cave tour will delight any caver with its unique formations, cathedral room, and lovable critters. *The passages are smooth gravel and steps lead to cave. There are areas that require squatting or leaning over while walking because of low head clearance. Tour is lighted and no gear is necessary. Cascade Cavers is offering to take our group off trail for a fee of $20.00 per person. The 2-hour tour will take you 400 feet into wet, muddy, walking/crawling passage. Cascade Caverns will provide helmets to those who do not have their own. The trip open to all cavers but is not included in registration. Recent cave-dives have substantially increased the length of the lower cave.
