He is one of the 'leaders' I am speaking of. I did not see or hear of the petition until Jan of this year. I did know of the original contacts that were made by the cave diving groups. You are right that interest by cave divers will keep getting sights open if and I repeat 'if' they are done with care. You don't drive up to someone's house and hold a gun to them and yell 'let us dive your cave or else!:)I do like the letters offering to help. It might just work. Have you told Johnny or anyone else this idea? Do you know what it is that the state needs to get done to open the site? If it's just building you may be on to something. If they need to hire people to police the site, check cirts etc. then you may need to come up with a management plan that is a little more detailed. Do you have any idea of what has or is being done in those areas? I don't. I have helped get a cave open and frankly wouldn't jump into this without at least talking with the individuals involved. Why repeat work that has already been done and why push people who are already doing the best they can (you really don't know do you) without finding out what you can REALLY do to help. I have been called the anarchist of cave diving but you may be taking my title away. :) By the way since you have all that energy we need to put some new steps at Mill Creek Sink and can use some help. The ones there now are a hazard. 2005-03-25 20:09:43
