The NSS Convention is located in Crawford County, which has over 200 caves. Harrison County is the county immediately to the east and has over 800 caves. This region has the state’s second longest cave (Binkleys Cave), the deepest cave (Heiser Mystery Well) and the largest spring (Harrison Spring).

This field trip will start at the convention site and will travel a loop that will include stops at numerous springs, sinkholes, sinking streams, and cave entrances.

The field trip will require short hikes and a possibility exists for checking out a few cave entrances along the way or maybe even swimming in a spring; so hiking boots, helmets and lights, and a swimming suit are recommended. A lunch stop will be made available, or bring your own. Also, it is recommended that you bring plenty of drinking water with you.   Transportation is provided.
