Come Prepared to AGCT Aug. 7-9

If you have never been to Trout Lake, WA to cave, you are missing out BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO. Come to our annual event this August and enjoy some of the nearly 1000 caves available just off the roadside! The cave trips will be posted later this month. Until then, RSVP on our events page.
Here is an image of the Trout Lake Grocery Store. This store is family-owned and the only place in town to buy supplies. People are kind and welcoming in town. You can even rent rooms here (but book fast because only 2 rooms are available). Make sure to bring important items (like bug spray and knee pads). August is usually hot and the caves are mild. Most do not require warm gear, but they do require gear that can take abrasion. All of our caves are lava tubes. Most are walking/crawling and ideal for bringing new cavers, cave photographers, children, and family. Several gated caves will be featured so this is a special treat!

For more great stories, check out our Pinterest page ! #ewls #womencavers #speleology Black Annis Stories of Black Annis, also referred to as Cat Anna and Black Agnes, is an old blue-faced woman with one eye who has scared children for hundreds of years as the bogeywoman of Leicester. She is believed to occupy a cave located on the face of Dane Hills. Legend states that she used her cave to hide from the sun, which is believed could turn her to stone. Her cave led to a tunnel that ran all the way to Leicester Castle where she is alleged to linger in the form of a ghost. In the woods she preys on children and brings them back at her cave to drink their blood and eat their flesh. Then, she hangs their skins to dry on the branches of the oak tree outside the cave entrance until she could sew the dried skins together to use as clothes and decorate the interior of her cave. 1 2 ...
