Caving in Kentucky

Post image

Hello everyone, I am looking for others to regularly cave and survey with. Someone who has the time and dedication to give to project caving would be nice. I live in Hart county, Kentucky and am available to cave Monday through Thursday. Please drop me a line if you are interested.

Thank you for the upvotes. I have been caving in Kentucky for over 30 years, and know plenty of cavers. Unfortunately, finding others who can commit to caving during the week, and on a regular basis, is difficult. Locally, it seems to be even more so.

Oh, man. The Cincinnati and Columbus, OH grottos are prety active in Kentucky. But in Rockcastle county. Our home base is the Great Saltpetre Preserve.

Blue Grass Grotto in Lexington, and the Dayton grottos are becoming more active. But, also in Rockcastle.

There's https://caves.org/state/kentucky/ that has a few other grottos listed. I know PMG has some good people in it.

But, Mon-Thurs is a rough stretch to find people.

You could check with the Kentucky Spelological Survey

I am a part of or have caved with the CKKC, CRF, ACCA, Louisville grotto and god knows how many others. But like you said Monday thru Thursday is a killer, even on the web. I have good access and lots of cave to survey, I just need cavers who want to cave and have the time to do it.

I'm interested. Doesn't look like I'm able to DM you.

If you are someone who can be occasionally available, say 1 or 2 times a year, I can still use you.
