I am thinking of the EMS and cavers who risk life or limb in the rescue of a caver or a mountain climber who goes out when and where he should not in the conditions that call for more knowledge or expert ability. Dos anyone have the right to ask some one to come rescue you when you did things with out the ability to self rescue or did not leave info and or get permits? The info on the internet may cause some person to believe that he has the ability to do this cave when he does not, or to go in with out the needed resource.
I know of a number of caves in North Texas and more. I would no more give anyone a list or a map to get to one with out a landowner who said ok than I would give my bank account number. The same goes to a state or federal owner. I think you put yourself at legal risk. What if a person is hurt. If not legal then I would feel guilty at the least. I know we lost the ability to go to a number of caves in the past when cavers left gates open and set fires with the campfire when it was a request not to. How much easier to have the cave gated if there is an injury. An old fuss budget! Quinta
