Shasta Area Grotto

Devoted to the knowledge and understanding of caves

SAG meetings are held the 4th Friday or Saturday of each month at 7:30 p.m. We will also be camping out on several weekends to plan cave activities for the NSS Annual Convention in Weed in 2021. For Dry Camp and Porcupine Camp, bring everything (tent, food, personal items) and water and camp stove. We will have bathroom facilities. Access is on a dirt track, OK for Subaru, RAV4, and trucks, not low clearance vehicles. If Hat Creek is open we will be there Oct. 23-25. Contact Liz for details on the trips, and to sign up as a trip guide during the Convention. The schedule lists caves we will be visiting to familiarize ourselves with for leading trips.
