I would be happy to pay for a placard like that!

But the city would (or *might*) postpone gating and restriction of Airman's with a nice warning placard: "Here be a significant and scary cave. Not recommended for beginners. No one has died here yet. Don't be the first. Contact local caving groups (listed here) for preparation and training if you are not sure what you are doing. If you have to be rescued you will be charged for being rescued. This cave is one of last caves unrestricted to the public - if your actions fuck that up and we have to put a gate on it, you will be designated a special case of nuisance - worse than sex offender - and people will come around to kick you for the rest of your life." -WaV from his laptop, naked, in front of a 73 inch flat panel HDTV On Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 9:01 PM, Scott Nicholson <[email protected]> wrote: Your analogy wherein "the park has a map to the place" would be perfect if the City of Austin (which owns Airman's Cave) had posted the videos. But, alas, the City did not. And, in reading these posts, I see no allegation that posting the videos was malicious. All I see is that the alarm is being sounded (and prudently so in my humble opinion) that to piss off the owner of the cave by publicizing the location on YouTube one risks that the owner (the City of Austin who is legally liable for injury/etc...) will take steps to limit access to that cave. Having said that....I enjoyed the videos.....it's been years since I've been in Airman's and it brought back some cool memories. I've been as far back as Sherwood Forest twice....and each time was painful and fun. ciao, Scott Nicholson ----- Original Message ---- From: S S <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2008 8:42:36 PM Subject: RE: [Texascavers] Airman's Cave Video Actually they did a great job with the directions...albiet booring. You'd have to be a retard to not find the place after watching that video. I'd give it an A+ for effectivness. And honestly. These guys havent done anything malicious. If this were a video about finding enchanted rock nobody would give a shit. Frankly if there were anywhere that needed less visitation it would be enchanted rock. There is certainly nothing enchanted about it these days. And while you are gating Airmans maybe we ought to gate Enchanted rock cave while we are at it. WHich by the way is located on Enchanted Rock for anyone wondering where the location of the cave may be. No retard video required. I guess now the save the enchanted rock cave foundation is going to be all over my ass. But then the park has a map to the place.

The gate on Whirlpool seems to accomplish the security of the cave and the safety of inexperienced citizens and would be in the best interests of all parties.
