Raccoon Creek Kayaking in Caves and Tacos (No Rental must supply own SUP/Kayak)

A too Hot to Hike Summer Series Event!

THIS IS A LIMITED ATTENDANCE EVENT! There is an expectation that if you sign up you show up. Cancel less than 72 hours before the event and cost someone on the waitlist the ability to go because of a last minute cancellation means we will review and you could be removed and you will have to reapply to the group. Please be aware of that.

So I am going to get in trouble with one of my good friends! Not for the event, but because of the the day and food place I chose... They know who they are.

This is the only day I have for this. I feel bad, but I will have a margarita and cheese dip in your honor.

I think I am digging a deeper hole, but they have a sense humor.

I mean their sense of humor is usually at my expense kind, but still they're funny.

Gotta laugh. Even if you are laughing with the others laughing at you. Follow me for more life advice. I am more of a cautionary tale, but still there's advice in that too.

Kayak in a cave? Why not? Whats the worst thing that could happen? I have got to learn to quit asking that question. Seems some of you have imaginations.

Life is about Family, experiences, love, friendships, and moments. This is in the experience realm and it is a good one. I am about those five things in my life.

I did this event in another place and time in my life. It was spectacular.

So I had a brilliant writeup put together. Went to check on something for it. clicked, and poof. I didn't save. This knucklehead did that not once, but twice. so It is just the facts here.

So now we enter the Twilight Time Zone another dimension of sight and sound. People will read this and scratch their heads. That is okay. We will meet at the Launch point at 10:00 am EASTERN TIME, but it is in the Central TIME zone so when it is 9:00 AM CENTRAL TIME you should be at the Boat Ramp. Some people like to drive directly to the site.

We should be there AROUND 9:00 am Central Time

There is a carpool meeting point from Walmart Super Center 3550 Cummings Hwy, Chattanooga, TN 37419 at 9:00 am EASTERN TIME. Where we will divide up and ride together to the Boat Ramp. It is an hour drive complete with a time change.

It is a Kayak into three caves. I have pictures from when I originally did it and it is cool. I mean I could show them to you, but you'd have to ask nicely.

Bring a Life jacket, a watercraft of some type. Sunscreen, fluids for Hydration, a snack and headlamp or illumination device. It is after all a cave.

By illumination device I don't mean a book on life or dating advice, General philosophy, or Zen Bhuddisim's Eternal Enlightenment. No culmination of a spiritual journey, a profound understanding of the self and the universe. This is an illumination device that provides actual light.

I am talking about a flashlight.

We will stop at a little area for snacks and visiting along the route.

This is a flat Water paddle so you need to be able to paddle at least 5 miles under your own power. You are responsible to know your abilities and assume all liability. Didn't read this? Doesn't matter. You are still responsible.
