Mark, Caves that have bats are not necessarily "bat caves." And caves lacking bats are not necessarily NOT "bat caves." I can explain the differences later if anyone is interested, but it will probably be a long and boring explanation. But in this case, based on our meeting with TPWD a couple of weeks ago, we are talking specifically about entry into Gorman Cave, Devils Sinkhole, Stuart Bat Cave, Fawcetts Cave, and one or two others. Caves with a random tri-colored bat or two are (so far) not on this list.

Does this mean closing all caves occupied by bats, i.e., Gorman Cave and others? <snip> But we intend to highly restrict entry into bat caves at TPWD sites. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
