========================================
Thanks for the link amigo,
That "sump" mentioned in the link COULD have been dry passage at one time.
I have been to quite a few caves where they have either flooded shut a passage or dried up to expose passage.
Man and the party from Florida mentioned really pisses me off. We called that "speleo-terrorism" and in the group I ran with back then it was highly frowned upon.
It is plenty easy, and the proper thing to always ASK,,ANYTIME you venture onto anyones privately owned land.
Never "assume" because everyone else just hiked in that it was ok. Hell legally the landowner IS the liable party in quite a few cases where there has been injury or worse occur in caves.
I would take the time to take a run down on some 3 day weekend to check it out,,if permitted of course. Would be interesting to run an MD in the area too.
Even just a walk around in the summer, in shorts is a good idea.
I say "shorts" because even if you do NOT see a visible passage you WILL feel the cool air on your exposed legs.
I was pretty good at finding caves in the day and dug open enough "cherry" passage.
Now with this conversation, I am feeling the urge,,and for me at almost 60,,,not too sure I can still pull an extensive trip.
Rebel, I would totally dig the opportunity to have a cuppa joe (or shine) with ya and chit chat about any project you may have in mind.
