Probably the remains of an ancient, now hidden, UFO base.
Wow, that's pretty weird!
I think it looks like the exposed layer of the earth's early semiconductor

It's quite possible that I will be in Wyoming around September 4th--still

I feel that there is a middle ground here. Yes, cavers could be
vectors-or not. Yes, the fungus could be spread by bats, and or
airborne. Funguses produce spores. In hospitals, certain diseases are
spread by spores, hence, contact isolation-within a closed
environment. Caves are not a close
I agree Bill and thanks to Patrick for his input to this matter. Looking

This 5+ minute video may be the best thing you see on your monitor this week.
It is a great tribute and morale builder for the young men and women who
sacrifice to make our way of life, including caving, possible. It is not the

This is post is most likely old news to the folks in Austin.

I suggest that we (meaning the PBSS) set up a meeting with the NPS and
have a agreement (Memorandum of Understanding) as to who does what and who
gets credit for the work. This way the CRF won't be getting credit for the
