This past Saturday, I went caving with a group from a local outdoor club. We got up bright and early to drive to Chattanooga in the pouring rain and then geared up at Raccoon Mountain.
It was actually nice to know that we were leaving a rainy day to go underground. If it had been pretty and sunny, I might have felt like we were wasting the day. We spent about three hours in the cave, descending to about 195 feet below the surface. It was fun and not too strenuous… And what trip would be complete without a good food afterward. My friend P and I stopped for lunch in downtown Chattanooga. It is hard to believe that only 20 years ago, Chattanooga was named the most polluted city in the US. Now the riverfront area is amazing. It is definitely a place to stop if you are in the area.
We got ice cream at B&J’s. I haven’t been there in years but the smell when you walked in was unmistakable! Saturday night, I got back just in time for more good food with mom, dad, g-ma, Aunt K, and Rolan and his wife. It was a good visit, but I slept hard after such a long day!!

3 hours hardly seems like enough time? then again, after seeing The Descent recently, maybe too long?? crazy adventures you are having down there. speaking of crazy, how's moxie doing?
I'm so glad you could join us for dinner Sat night after your busy adventurous day. Sorry I didn't get to chat with you at the table. They ought to have round tables for groups of 8.That would make visiting easier, but I guess they want people to eat when they come to their place.
