The Lost Sea Adventure
This year’s spring trip is at the Lost Sea Adventure in Tennessee! Address is 140 Lost Sea Rd., Sweetwater, TN 37874
Total price is $48.07 including tax regardless of age. Cost per person includes dinner, regular Lost Sea tour, boat Ride, spelunking tour, and overnight stay. Must be at least 5 years old to attend.
What to Wear?
The temperature in the cave is a constant 58 degrees Fahrenheit. When you are moving you won’t get cold, but while at the campsite a light jacket is advisable. Long pants, a warm, long-sleeved shirt and old shoes are ideal. You will get muddy, so be sure to bring a change of clothes. Long pants are required for this tour – no shorts.
What Equipment to Bring?
First of all, a good flashlight with extra batteries is required for each participant. Bringing your own drinking water is necessary since we do not have drinking water available in the cave. You will need a sleeping bag, ground cloth or mattress for sleeping. The cave is not a motel, as everything is relatively primitive inside. We do not have showers or wash basins (it is a good idea to bring wet wipes). Plan on being dirty until you leave the cave. We do have a toilet, however. You are responsible for your dirty clothes, so please do not leave them in the cave.
What Not to Bring
Do not bring excess baggage, as it is hard to carry into the cave. You will be going through the natural entrance and down over 100 steps to the campsite. Tents are not allowed inside the cave.
A special patch has been made for those who participate in the overnight cave adventure. The patch will be sold for $5.00 each to those who take this tour.
