In some ways, speleology is now in an evolutionary state, much as biology
was in the early 18th century. Faced with a myriad of different things,
they struggled to which diverse characteristics were the most important,

I think it is a drastic oversimplification to suggest that private
ownership of caves necessarily makes things easier for us or safer for the
caves than agency ownership. We are still excluded from Skull Cave (Albany
County, NY), because the owners were spooked by an accident (in a separate

Internet, so that when one searches CBD one finds as many criticisms as

Ms. Power's assertion that cavers are just being selfish and that the land
management agencies are just doing their jobs balancing diverse interests
is simply not credible. Most cavers are not criticizing the need for
