NOVA students: This is a reminder that I'm going to be leading a two-day caving trip through the Annandale campus' Office of Student Activities. The trip runs from 8am on Saturday, September 13 to about 7pm on Sunday, September 14. We'll be going to a series of caves near Franklin, West Virginia: Trout, New Trout, Hamilton, and Keys. We'll also drive out to the Spruce Knob area to take in Stillhouse Cave and the Sinks of Gandy (which has a river flowing through it). I've led this caving trip many times over the past 15 years; it's awesome. Last time I took students there was for a GMU GeoClub trip in Fall 2005. Some photos from that trip are available here.

There is space for about 15 students on the trip. The trip has a cost of $35, which covers all food except for Saturday's lunch (bring that in a bag). For dessert on Saturday night at the campground, I'll be fixing Grandma Bentley's famous peach cobbler. If you're interested in going, please contact Jessie Zahorian in the Office of Student Activities at 703-323-3484 or jzahorian [AT] nvcc.edu. First come, first served! Other denizens of the geoblogosphere: sorry, but it's only open to NOVA students.
