Itinerary:

Very cool!!! Caves, trails, the beautiful Kawartha region! Even bats! [shudder!] (But if I can conquer my bat phobia for this adventure, there's nothing I can't do! LOL) Early departure from carpool meet-up so we can make the most of our time at the caves and conservation area! At the site, we will explore the caves and the trails, have a picnic lunch, and explore some more, or just relax and enjoy a great day in the outdoors! (it's a long weekend - woohooooo!!!)

Required Items to Bring:
sturdy shoes/hiking boots, sunscreen, hat, lots of water, picnic lunch

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
"These caves are quite wonderful and at a novice level while remaining physically challenging. Despite the fact that they are relatively good to start on, you should go prepared. In the deepest of the caves (the best part) the temperature never goes above zero degrees; the other caves hover around 15 degrees. The best way to deal with the warmth outside and the cold inside is to wear layers. It is also wet inside, so waterproof outer layers are recommended. You can get by with a flashlight, but I would strongly recommend a headlamp. Cheap headlamps are available at Canadian Tire for around $10 Canadian and good-quality headlamps can be bought at most outfitters (don't forget extra batteries and some sort of backup lamp). The precipitation in the caves constantly drips, so if you don't have something on your head - like a headscarf - it'll give you the willies right through to your toes." - http://www.out-there.com/cavewrsa.htm
