Calling all UHP freshmen!
On Sunday, December 6, 2015, join Prof. Ralkowski and GW TRAiLS for a day of spelunking in West Virginia! Please sign up by Wednesday, Dec. 2 (this is also the cancellation date if you change your mind).
You’ll meet at the glass tables in Marvin Center (by the admissions office) and from there drive the ~90 minutes to Shepardstown, WV. There you will receive some safety equipment (helmet, headlamp) and safety instructions from your guide! Climbing in the cave requires no experience, just a few hours of crawling, walking, and scrambling. You can expect to be back on Foggy Bottom around 6:00 pm, in time to study for upcoming finals.
In the words of GW TRAiLS: “If you enjoy jumpsuits and getting muddy come with us to explore the inside of a sweet cave in West Virginia!”
Make sure you bring these items:
- clothes that can get dirty
- clean, comfortable clothes for the ride back
- closed toed shoes (hiking boots, sneakers)
- bag lunch/breakfast/second lunch/snacks and WATER
Please register for this trip here, and contact the office or TRAiLS with any questions!
