day hike to neff's cave - October 27, 2012
Neffs Cave is a very deep (1200 Ft), steep, and dangerous cave wtih access restricted by a locked gate controlled by the Forest Service. WMC members had a significant roll in the early exploration of this cave in the early 1950s. You can read the history on line at Caves.org. Hiking to the cave enterence is still a interesting adventure. The route is a rough scramble up a dry creek bed if weather permits. Otherwise we will continue up Neffs Canyon.
