2.) Trips are open on a first come, first served basis. Most trips will be limited to 10 cavers.
3.) Trips are announced and posted at the meeting. Therefore, members in attendence are given priority. If you can't make a meeting, check below and contact the trip leader for availability.
4.) Please carefully consider your abilities and comfort level when choosing trips. Cave conditions vary greatly; they can be cold, wet, tight and muddy. You will have more fun if you're prepared for what you're getting into! If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask any IUCC officer.

**Trips leave from behind the geology building unless otherwise stated.

**If you are borrowing an CCIU helmet and light, please remember to bring four AA-batteries with you.

***Always bring a complete change of clothes & shoes, a trashbag to put your muddy stuff in, a towel, and a bottle of water & a snack. You'll need these after exiting the cave and before driving home.

Cave Information

The CCIU has compiled the following list of horizontal caves to which trips are commonly scheduled. This information is quite general and should not be used as a guide, but merely to give you information to help you determine which trips you would like to sign up for. You must have gone to at least two of five beginner caves before you will be allowed to sign up for an intermediate trip. Trip and travel times are approximated.

Cave	Level	Cave conditions & special challenges	Trip duration & travel time
Buckner's	Beginner	Dry. 700' entrance crawlway; beyond this point, mainly walking passage.	3-4 hours underground; 30 minutes travel time
Wayne's Lost	Intermediate-Advanced	Wet. Long crawlways and tight passages.	4-7 hours underground; 30 minutes travel time
Sullivan's	Beginner-Intermediate	Dry and/or wet, depending on the trip. Mostly walking passage.	3-6 hours underground; 45 minutes travel time
