On September 25, 2016, Layne, Tracy, and I took another trip to Bluff River Cave. I had been to this cave once before, but I’d really forgotten how pretty it is. The cave has a little mud slide at the entrance, and there’s some stream walking, but…
On September 10, 2016, I took a caving trip with the Huntsville Grotto. We planned to go to one private cave, but we couldn’t find the landowner to get permission, so we headed to Herring Cave in Madison County. It’s an easy walk from the road to…
On July 9, 2016, we took a trip with the Huntsville Grotto to Perkins Cave in Alabama. This cave is on private property and requires a bit of a hike down the mountain to get to it. There wasn’t much to the cave until we got to…
On June 25, 2016, Layne, Tracy, and I went to check out Stephens Gap Cave. This is another very popular SCCi cave, and the entrances are really pretty. The cave itself is pretty short, but there is one horizontal entrance right next to a vertical entrance, which…

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…

Here are a few pictures from multiple trips we made to Tumbling Rock Cave in 2015. Honestly, I can’t get enough of this cave. It’s a nice mix of easy, challenging, easy to access, long, pretty, and unique. [mapsmarker marker=”44″]
On November 21, 2015, we took our first trip to Hans Kennamer Cave. This cave is on private land near Grant, AL, and it’s a maze-type cave due to its complex passages. It has multiple entrances, including one small entrance and another bigger entrance that drops into…
