 This will be the 27th annual CARTER CAVES CRAWLATHON.
It is a much anticipated event among the hardy individualists who attend it
loyally. It is somewhat unique among "caving" events in that it provides
beneficial activities for anyone interested in caves and caving without regard
to their level of expertise. Some who attend have never "caved" before,
while others
may be among the best known cavers in the country. Anyone interested in caves or
caving will find something they can do.
Cave trips and instructional programs during the event are
led by experienced guides who know a great deal about the sport of CAVING.
READ THIS WEB SITE CAREFULLY. Even
though trips vary in degrees of difficulty, all trips will be STRENUOUS.
Anyone recovering from surgery, anyone with chronic back pain, anyone with knee
problems, anyone with
claustrophobia or other psychological discomforts associated with entering
caves, should carefully consider if the CRAWLATHON is their type of amusement.
The web site contains an
advance registration
form and a Waiver of Liability form.
The Waiver of Liability Form must be filled out, signed, witnessed and mailed in
with the registration form. Each trip has limited participation, thus the
earlier the form is returned, the greater the likelihood of getting the trips
you want. Select the trip you want and up to three Alternate trips during the
same time period (ie. Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, Sunday morning). Use
a checkmark for your first priority and use: A1, A2, A3 to mark your alternate
choices. You may sign up for a MAXIMUM of TWO trips on Saturday and ONE trip
on Sunday, but pay careful attention to conflicting times. In addition to
the three trips, participants may sign up for one of the preliminary squeezebox
competition times as a fourth trip.
A non-refundable
registration fee is required of
all participants. Included in the registration fee is access to all evening
programs, workshops, cave tours, transportation to selected caves, and a
uniquely designed T-shirt for the 2008 event. This fee MUST be returned with
your registration form to guarantee your participation. Reservations are by mail
only.
