ABOUT ME

I'm a Caver who lives in the HEART of TAG near Nickajack Lake in Tennessee. My husband, Jason Hardy and I are active cave surveyors and have produced dozens of maps for local landowners and helped on countless other survey and cave science projects. We are both National Speleological Society LIFE Members and I am also recognized as a Fellow of the Society.

We have surveyed caves for the Appalachian Power Company in Virginia, The famous Jack Daniels Distillery in Lynchburg, TN and locally we have surveyed mile plus long caves such as Doodlebug Hole, Bible Springs, Wonder Cave, Solution Rift, and The Hell Sucker. We have a love for caving & the outdoors and giving back to our community.
