The initial plan is to hike down into the ravine to explore/climb up and down the clay formations a bit, then we can travel down the cold-water, clay-lined creek toward the railroad tracks/Pearl River.  We'll take the railroad tracks to the derailed traincars.  Anticipated water levels due to rain indicate the Pearl will be too swollen to visit the sandbar on the river, so from here we'll loop back up to the rim via the wall climb (some light rope action).

Recommended supplies:

Plenty of water
Comfortable shoes you don't mind getting wet/dirty
Wicking clothes you don't mind getting wet/dirty (see the theme!)
Hat, natural sunscreen, natural bug repellant
Snacks/lunch
Change of clothes for the drive home

This is NOT a cleanup per se, but we always bring a few trash bags with us to remove litter, especially recyclables.  This is a moderately difficult hike due to the elevation change down and back up, but the weather forecast indicates it won't be too terribly hot (high of 83 degrees), which will make it much more manageable.
