Thousands of people go to Anza Borrego to explore the caves each year, even organized Boy Scout Troops. Flashlights / headlamps and old clothing needed. Some may prefer to wear coveralls. Helmets are not necessary but ceilings get low. Not recommended for those susceptible claustrophobia.

Please sign me up.
Always wanted to check out the caves but previously I was out there solo and didn't feel comfortable entering the caves.
I was worried about running into Morlocks and/or Sleestaks.
