Continuing Survey in Our Project Cave In Alabama

We’re BACK for Trip #5 on our ongoing Alabama cave survey project! On this trip, Jason and I were joined by Greg and Val McNamara from Indiana to continue pushing and mapping the passage beyond the squeeze. Greg was a part of the original exploration of this cave 20+ years ago so he was very excite to get back into this one!

ABOUT ME

I’m a passionate caver living in the heart of caving in Tennessee. My husband, Jason, & I are dedicated cave surveyors, having produced dozens of maps for local landowners & contributed to countless survey & cave science projects—including dye tracing & biological inventories. We are deeply committed to the exploration, documentation, & conservation of caves. Our project caving has allowed us to survey caves for the Appalachian Power Company in Virginia as well as mapping underground systems for the legendary Jack Daniels Distillery in Tennessee. We have also surveyed numerous mile-plus-long caves for private landowners.

Beyond the science and survey work, we simply love caving for the pure adventure of it! When we’re not underground, we’re out embracing the outdoors hiking, kayaking, skiing, and exploring everything nature has to offer. Join me as I share our caving expeditions and above-ground adventures. Let’s explore together!
