Pancakes!

Our Pancake (Cave Dig) Weekend is historically scheduled to dovetail with the Highland Maple Festival held every March. We typically choose the Festival's second weekend for our cave digs, as this gets us a bit closer to Spring. We open the BCCS Homestead on Friday to all participants (and in recent years, some folks have come down on Thursday, a day early.)

Pancake Weekend is a proven BCCS tradition going back more than a quarter century. Among our discoveries are several strategic, mile plus, and even multi-mile caves. (Barberry, Blarney Stone, Battered Bar, Basswood, Buckwheat, and Blind Faith come to mind!)

If you're interested in discovery—in finding virgin cave—and understand that we can only find such wonders these days with glove-handed, shovel-wielding hard work, then we welcome your eager participation! Follow our posted Pancake dates as we start into the New Year. For a short history of what we've dug into since our official First Pancake Weekend in 1986, click here.
