Seeking suggestions for Weeklong Road Trip. Please keep kicked.
I live in Bluffton, SC. SO and I will probably do ATL either first or last, we are thinking the Aquarium and Stone Mountain.

Out only set thing on the schedule is a reservation for a 6-hr tour of mammoth cave called a "wild cave crawl." That is on Sat, 10/03.

We're also planning to jaunt into the OH/PA area to see friends and family.

The entire trip will be from 9/30 to 10/06.

Thanks in advance.

1. I used to go caving all the time in college.
If it is truly a "wild" cave crawl, be prepared to get MUDDY!

2. Yeah. They said it was going to possibly be wet.
It will also be crawling through areas with as little as 9" of clearance.

And crawling up walls.

I'm really looking forward to it.

3. Possibly! Lol!
One of the colorful names that I remember cavers gave to the crawls in some of the Tennessee caves was Babyshit Crawl.

You'll love it though, as long as you're not claustrophobic.

4. Sounds like a nice trip
The leaves are already changing here in western PA :-). Will you be taking the Blue Ridge Parkway? May be gorgeous by then.

If you are into caves and nearby check out Penn's Cave near State College.
