caving potluck RSVP

We invite all members and guests to join us at a new location. We have reserved 'The Hunting Ground Farm' (THGF) in Pendleton County, WV for the weekend. THGF is located at 367 Amby Lane, Circleville, WV 26804.

This location offers many opportunities for hiking, sightseeing, and caving. Local points of interest include Spruce Knob, Monongahela National Forest, Nelson Rocks, Seneca Rocks, Germany Valley, and more.



The farmhouse is very rustic, but it does have some conveniences, like electricity. Gravity-fed water from a nearby spring is hooked up to the house.

We recommend that you bring drinking water. The water has never been tested, but some people drink it.

There is a kitchen with a stove and two refrigerators. Basic pots and pans, as well as small appliances like a toaster, microwave, and coffee maker are provided.

There are four beds, a bunkbed, and three sofa-beds in the farmhouse. Vinyl covered mats are available as well.

The front yard has plenty of room for tents. A nearby meadow offers places for tents for the ultimate in privacy and quiet sleeping. There are places to rent around the area if you have special needs.

The house has a bathroom. We ask that you use the outhouse, which is a short walk down the hill.

Scum Ridge Caving Club will rent a portable toilet if there is a need. The spring does lose some of its capacity and the toilet and showers can reduce the available water.

Please RSVP by connecting with Krista Tetrick through Facebook. A cell phone number will be provided to those who RSVP. AT&T works at the property.

Bring your camp chair. There is a big firepit at the farm.
