On Saturday, October 17th, several Wolf Patrol members gathered for some backyard tomahawks, cooking, pumpkin carving and camping. On Sunday, the group explored the dark and mysterious limestone wonderland inside Worley Cave (aka Morrill Cave) in Bluff City, TN. This 7-mile tract near Bluff City was named after the first owner Elias S. Worley. The cave is full of unique columns and contours, a river basin and hundreds of tiny crevices. Nine scouts and 4 leaders, ranging from 11-years old to “seasoned” leaders, the patrol pulled together to climb, slide, trudge, slump, crawl, and generally contort to themselves. The patrol made it through nearly to the back of the cave before we could no longer fit a few through the final tight passages into the last big room. The kids did an amazing job of pulling together, extending a hand, anchoring a rope, providing guidance and encouragement to ensure all of us journeyed safely. The pictures say it all.
