9:00AM -- Regular Bi-Monthly VCA meeting held at Rutland Ambulance Service Building--located right behind Rutland Regional Medical Center, the classroom we meet in is in the far back corner.
11:00AM -- After meeting trip to Morris Cave in Danby, VT. Morris is a solutional cave and is rather large, New England's second largest cave, Morris Cave has some 1800' of passage, the first 600' containing three 'filters'... the Cobble Crawl, the Wet Pinch, and THE Pinch. The last of these, 500' into the cave, is a 9.5" x 15" x 24" long squeeze at the bottom of a U shaped passage.... most folks have to take off their helmets, and enter the pinch upside down, on their back. This should be a fun venture-- we plan to spend a few hours exploring! Trip Leader: Donna Stanley & Ken Moore-- Contact Donna with anyquestions: (
