I saw that Wyandotte Cave in Indiana was closed. ( I believe that is a
state owned tour cave, as opposed to a privately owned one. )
Yes, the state owns Wyandotte, but it is operated by Gordon Smith, who
also owns/operates nearby Marengo Cave, and Diamond Caverns in
Kentucky. Wyandotte has
It's a bit of a sad comment on the PrincetonTecin general that so many
cavers are knowledgeable about failed lights that need to be returned !
In defense of P-T, I would point out that cavers are knowledgeable about
light problems because they are particularly adroit at *destroying* them

I agree, I've abused my PT lights and they have lasted longer than any other
light I've owned. They also have an excellent customer service program.

Blue Spring Cave,
This 5+ minute video may be the best thing you see on your monitor this week.
It is a great tribute and morale builder for the young men and women who
sacrifice to make our way of life, including caving, possible. It is not the
patriotic same old, same old you are accustomed to seeing.

I suggest that we (meaning the PBSS) set up a meeting with the NPS and
have a agreement (Memorandum of Understanding) as to who does what and who
gets credit for the work. This way the CRF won't be getting credit for the

I, also, am in favor of continuing rock hauls at Carlsbad, though I have only
been fortunate enough to attend one. I do it for the enjoyment, though it
would be nice to know that the NPS appreciates our work enough to list us as a

I would be interested in both trips
I agree Bill and thanks to Patrick for his input to this matter. Looking
ahead I will not be able to make the next meeting but would like to add
something to the agenda.

relatively near. Set up an after caving meeting around
Excellent ideas, all! Thanks, Kerry, especially since you are thinking while
trying to pack for a cruise.
It's quite possible that I will be in Wyoming around September 4th--still
working out the details--but a congenial gathering soon sounds good.
Have fun, Kerry! Jacqui

I feel that there is a middle ground here. Yes, cavers could be
vectors-or not. Yes, the fungus could be spread by bats, and or
airborne. Funguses produce spores. In hospitals, certain diseases are
spread by spores, hence, contact isolation-within a closed
environment. Caves are not a

While you and Fleming both make good points, none of us has any authority to
make the decisions on closing the caves. Right now all the caves on Forest
Service land in Region Two (Colorado, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota and
Kansas) are under a blanket closure and we

I'm not sure that these are caves as much as large complex limestone mines.
The companies that own the mines rent the space out for storage for all kinds
of things and if I remember correctly they also had a fairly large office

Yeah. Kansas City has those limestone mines. Hardly caves.

was.
