While we are clearing the bats from the cave, and poking holes to ventilate it lets also add ramps for people confined to wheel chairs. I also hate stoop walking, so lets increase the height of the cave to 7ft or so (so we can accommodate the tallest cavers...comfortably). We can also equip them with cheap but historically impressive off brand LED's in case the track lighting fails.
