Paid TAG Member 01/10“ Fun times today! Thanks to Dave and everyone for making me feel welcome in the group on my first TAG event. Exploring the caves was fun, but mostly just walking around outside and talking with everyone (and joking about the amazing race participants in their spandex) was a great time. I just wish that Sheriff's officer didn't notice me roll through the stop sign on my way home :) ” -
Paid TAG Member 9/09“ Yet another TAG meetup success story! We squeezed through tight spaces, banged various body parts on solid rock, repeatedly, laughed at ourselves, laughed in general, descended, ascended, slipped in mud, observed a bat neatly tucked into a rock above our heads we gave a tiny contoured eye mask, so he could be studied undisturbed, and just generally had a great time together! What a fantastic group! Thank you yet again, David D.! Thanks, everybody! See you next time! :-) ” -
Paid TAG Member 1/10“ Caving with T.A.G is always a rockin good time! Thank you to David for all the time and effort you put into making our events so much fun. I enjoyed everyone's company and look forward to the next adventure. ” -
Noelle Knight (+3 guests)Paid TAG Member 01/10“ We had a great time. Squeezing into small crevices and seeing a tiny bat sleeping peaceful on the cave ceiling. Getting muddy and wet...slip sliding down the cave walls. I had no idea you could do this in Florida. Thanks for a great afternoon! ” -
