Submit a trip report

Short is fine. A date, a cave and a couple of photos is a real contribution — the archive is full of two-line reports that turned out to matter years later.

Members: sign in first and this report goes in under your name. An officer reviews every report before it appears, usually within a few days.

Not a member yet? Join the grotto — $12 a year, and it gets you the cave catalogue, the member map, the newsletter archive and every trip report back to 2011. You can still send us this one; an officer will read it first.

Bats — optional, and the most useful thing you can record We saw bats

We followed white-nose decontamination protocol
