Don't forget to mark your calendars for the Big Room Watershed clean up on January 8 February 12, 2011. This has the makings of a great clean up event and with Big Room Cave right there, you can go caving when we are done!!

Volunteers will meet at Big Room Cave at 10:00 to begin what may be a massive clean up. We are really not sure how deep the sink hole is, but we do know it is filled to the top. Local residents say that in the past the water running in the sinkhole would flush the trash down stream. There may be a large undiscovered cave here. This may be like Horseshoe Bend Cave. That small cave turned into a 1 mile long cave with significant vertical elevation once the trash was removed and access to the rest of the cave was gained!!

Come join the SKTF and Sewanee Mountain Grotto on this very worthy project! Please email me if you need directions.
