On the way back to Chicago from TAG, we stopped by Speleofest at Lonestar Preserve. Saw Tim Stoops and Bill Baus running around looking for more caves to visit. Unloaded the car and waited for Phil to show up — if he didn't make it in 20 minutes we were heading north. Phil Goldman and Clinton Barber showed up from their trip to Frenchmans Knob and we surprised them with some beer and bourbon at their campsite. Ended up decommissioning their rope obstacle course which took a few hours. Decided to stay the night and go to the party in Saltpeter Cave. Got to see a bunch of friends, shared TAG stories and recent excursions. A perfect ending to a great trip.
