We will start the weekend events of this year with a memorial ride for our brother Bob Ws Raby. The ride will leave out at 2:00 p.m. on Friday the 15th from Ladd Delaney Park and Greenway in Kingston, TN. The address for the ride meetup spot is 1470 N Kentucky St

We will end the ride at the Cave Gathering address(191 Wise Rd Kingston)where we will have a celebration of life for brother FUGOWEE at 6:00 p.m. The memorial ride and celebration of life will be open to all friends, family, and Widows Sons.
We will have a final Widows Sons memorial ceremony after the cave branding at the Cave Gathering site at approximately 10:00 p.m. This event will be for Widows Sons and their immediate family only.
We plan to have food available on Friday and Saturday nights.
We are also getting a Bob Raby memorial coin made. We will have those for sale at the Cave Gathering.
If you would like to order a coin and cannot make it to the Cave Gathering, please contact Noel Peters on Facebook Messenger or at 865-805-1459.
The camp site and Widows Sons branding ceremony will be the same as last year. This location will be at 191 Wise Road Kingston, 37763. This location is on Brother Danny Patterson’s property and is approximately 6 miles from the cave. There is plenty of shaded areas to park bikes and set up tents at this location. We will be supplying port-a-potties, a sink, and a shower as we have done before.
We will have the branding ceremony in the cave. The branding in the cave went great last year and we are excited to have it there again this year. Definitely a unique branding experience. We will start the branding ceremony at 6:00 p.m. so we can get it done and cleaned before dark.
We will be hosting the 2025 Widows Sons Cave Gathering that coincides with the Union Lodge #38 in Kingston, TN annual Cave Degree! This event is OPEN to Widows Sons and their Escorted Guests ONLY!!! Ladies are welcome at the campsite and social gathering.
As always, this is a free event! We will provide free rustic tent camping area with port-a-potties and a "cowboy" shower, Friday Night- Sunday! We will be hosting a Widows Sons degree Saturday evening, at 6:00 p.m., inside of the cave, for any who have not had the pleasure of receiving it! There are hotels in the area, they go quickly due to the number of Masons that come for the Cave degree! For any who have not seen a Cave Degree it is one for the bucket list, and with the addition of the Widows Sons Degree in the cave also, I expect it to be a great weekend.
For all Brother Widows Sons we will be hanging out around the campfire with great socializing and fellowship with food on Friday and Saturday night! Speaking of riding, there are some of the best roads in the country a short ride away, such as the Devils Triangle!!! Which now includes the Brushy Mountain Distillery and a restaurant, The Warden’s Table! Some meals will be available at the Lodge as part of the Cave Degree activities!
