When: Saturday, July 12, 2008 at 8:30 AM 20080712T123000Z
Where: Carter Caves State Resort
344 Caveland Drive
Olive Hill , KY 41164
800-325-0059
Who should come: Carter caves has a lot of to offer in terms of water sports, horse back riding, hiking and a variety of caves to tour. Like those things? Come on out. Last trip out I missed out on the bat cave, so this time I am signing up VERY early.
Why: We are pretty lucky to have a place like this within a couple hours drive(or so). Weather should be great... and it definitely won't be too hot inside the caves.
How to find the organizer(s): "I'll be camping the night before. What site? Well that is as yet unknown!"

Details

Carter caves has a wide variety of cave tours.... check out --> http://parks.ky.gov/N...

From the rave reviews of Todd, Bethany, and all the others who participated in it last time it seems very worthwhile, but is limited to the first 12. Currently there is one signed up (me). However there are a wide variety of other tours, both crawling and walking as you can see at the above file. Prices vary per tour.

There is also hiking, horse back riding, and boating among other things. It is possible to make this a day trip but not easy. The bat cave extreme starts @ 9:30 AM and is a very reasonable $20 for the all-day event! It is located (according to mapquest) a bit under 3 hours and 175 miles away - though I recall it being a bit quicker. We will set up car pools among those interested! Here is the link I used.

They have a pretty nice, though not secluded, camp ground. It is $22/night and so that would be divided by however many people are there (probably around $4/night). Sites can be viewed and reserved at this link --> http://kentuckystatep...
