Re: [Texascavers] FW: Midnight Cave

2007-08-11 Thread David Locklear
The cave he is referring to is one of our most treasured caves. Anyone who has ever seen it, would want to see that it is protected from abuse, and by abuse, I mean too many cavers carelessly visiting the cave. At the present time, I don't think there is a problem with too many cavers visiting
