Caverat and I visited Drake's Pit, a very nice 109' pit on Green Mtn. in Huntsville,AL. After arriving at the parking spot we had a few nice words with the landowner, and started our hike to the pit. After about a 20 minute hike we reached our destination, and I rigged the rope while caverat was suiting up. I was the first down and had a wonderful rappel into this awesome little pit, and it is one of my TAG favorites. Caverat then came down and we chatted and looked around the bottom of the pit for a few minutes. I then started my climb out and enjoyed my climb very much while enjoying the beauty of the pit. Caverat then climbed, and when he was up we discussed going on over to 3 Turkey Plunge but decided it was to late and it was already starting to get dark. We had gotten a late start because we had stopped by the NSS Office on our way to the pit to renew memberships, and I talked with Bill Torode for a while about some caves me and him had gone to a couple of years back. After sitting around the top of the cave for a while, we pulled and coiled the rope, packed up our gear and headed for the car. We had a wonderful day of caving in TAG. C-YA Underground!

Nice pics John. Looks like y'all had a fine day of pitting. It's great to have such good pits and caves so close to town. TAG is a super place for cavers.
