Important Information:

WHAT IS THE TAG FALL CAVE-IN?

The TAG Fall Cave-In is an annual caving event hosted in the TAG (Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia) region. This event celebrates caving and community and is a longstanding tradition. Hosted by the Dogwood City Grotto (DCG) with the assistance of grottos from all around, it features a weekend of caving, socializing, a large bonfire, entertainment, and much more. The event is also a major fundraiser for the grotto and proceeds go back into the community to support conservation, research, and rescue efforts.

3. Fires

Individual fires are allowed, but we must Leave No Trace, like cavers always should. That means you have to use an off-the ground fire pit, such as a Solo Stove, portable fire pit, or a fire pan. Thanks for not leaving a rock ring or burn scars!

6. Sunday Morning Breakfast

The Huntsville Cave Rescue Unit (HCRU) generously donates their time and efforts to the TAG Fall Cave-In by providing first aid and the annual rescue breakfast. Help support your local rescue squad by buying a ticket for the famous TAG breakfast (tickets available at registration - first come first serve)

Sunday Morning Give-Back:

After you're packed up, please help clean your area, and the whole site.

Let's leave it better than we found it, like CAVERS are famous for - and PLEASE, PLEASE

separate and recycle all your cans and plastics!

We are grateful the Sewanee Mountain Grotto maintains

this important conservation project as it helps Mother Earth

and reduces our waste disposal costs, which increases funding for caver projects.

So, it's worth the extra few seconds to find a recycle bin - they're everywhere!!
