Their story was published in the San Francisco Daily Herald (Summiting Mount Shasta).…

    Hey Tagnet, My brother (Ethan Reuter) and I (Ian Reuter), are starting to prep for our semi-annual June trip down to TAG, and as such we are beginning to formulate a list of caves we want to visit while we are down there this summer. We love the caves down there so much, I doubt we will ever get bored of coming down. However, as we have been making trips down for a few years now we have started to exhaust the “TAG classics” list. With that said, there are some caves I feel like we have to visit every time we are down in the region since they are so awesome, but aside from those we are starting to look into some of the more obscure pits etc. As such, we had some questions about a number of pits that don’t have much info on them, and were hoping you guys could recommend them as things we should look into more, or opt to pass on.…

    Unfortunately, out of the six thousand caves found throughout the country, only fifteen happen to be open to the public. Many of the caves have unique features called stalagmites and stalactites. Stalagmites are rocks, which rise from the ground while stalactites, much like Stalagmites, differ in that they are rocks, which hang from the ceiling. These rocks most closely resemble something us Minnesotans are all too familiar with, known as icicles. From the pictures I’ve seen the caves look nothing less than incredible and it seems as though it would be a very cool place to visit.…
