[NMCAVER] Conserving Caves

Conserving Caves

That is, of course, our big dilemma.  The National Park Service tries to deal with it too, but the non-cave Blutocrats get involved.  That complicates the issue.

I cannot count the number of times I have been in virgin cave (lucky me) and thought  "I cannot go through there. I will break something, and just screw it up by trying to pass."

And, of course, others later do go through, sometimes finding WONDERFUL places.

I tell myself that I did the right thing.

Thanks for your reply.  I am going to send this out to the Greater Guano.  This is an eternal issue that only gets worse as more folks discover caves and caving.  I have no answer, but all of us that appreciate caves must think about it.
