DOGS: dogs are permitted as long as the owner is on leash. But I recommend no dogs, please, even if on leash. You will have to carry your dog up through the "circular staircase" of the cave, and Rover will not be pleased.

BRING ALL THE USUAL STUFF, I'M NOT YOUR MOM....
Bring clothing (sorry, nude hikes are a different Meetup group), lots of water--at least 3 bottles, a hat, comfy shoes, snacks, all your troubles...
LEGAL STUFF: finally, by going on this hike, you agree to assume all risks of this hike, and that no one at Meetup including the organizer is responsible for your safety.
