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!

Sioux Legend of the Old Woman in the Cave

According to Sioux legend, as told by Chief Lost Feather, there is a secret and mysterious cave that is located on the West Mountain (near Hot Springs, Arkansas). There's an old woman and a dog that have been living in this cave for many generations. The old woman never grows any older. The dog never ages, either. They both stay exactly the same, and they have since anybody can remember. The old woman spends her days weaving a rug. She is using pine needles that she has collected in the nearby pine forest. The old woman has been weaving now for many centuries, and yet the rug never gets any bigger. The dog watches his mistress weave through narrow slits in his eyes as he appears to just nap in the corner. Occasionally the old woman puts the rug down and leaves it while she goes to stir the pot of soup that she has cooking on a fire at the mouth of the cave. The soup has probably been cooking for several centuries, as well. The minute the old w...
