On April 10, 2016, the Huntsville Grotto took a trip to Guffey Cave in Marshall County, AL. This is a gated cave on private property with a bit of a walk down the ridge to reach the entrance. But the cave is pretty incredible. Almost immediately after…
On March 26, 2016, Layne and I decided to make it to the back of Tumbling Rock. The back is marked by a formation called Terry’s Terrible Tiger Teeth, so that was our destination. The route is supposed to be confusing, so we didn’t have much faith…
