Parents and Scouts:

This letter is for those that are on the list to go caving this coming weekend. 
If you are going – here is a list of things that will make the trip enjoyable for you.
1. sleeping bag and pad.
2. 2 light sources – one headlight is required
3. clothes for crawling in the cave.  coveralls works best – but not insulated.  Boots are good for this – old ones.
4. pack your gear in a gear bag if possible.  pack packs are not required on this trip and will be harder to stow since we will not be taking the trailer.
5. Please wear Class A uniform on Saturday Morning.  once there in the cave we can change [Class A to travel home as well]
6. bring a sack lunch.  we will be stopping along the way to eat.
7. there is a gift shop at the cave.  also a snack bar – so plan accordingly

I will go over these items tomorrow night.  If you have any question please let me know.
I am also going to need adults going to help transport.  we have a total of 40 going.  If you can drive please give me that info tomorrow [number of total seatbelts that you can comfortably use –including the driver in count..
