--- Begin Message --- While I personally agree with Dr. Tuttle's message regarding the effectiveness of current WNS decon protocols on reducing the spread rate of Pd and WNS in the US, I believe that it is somewhat irrelevant to the issue of whether we, as cavers should comply to mandated decon

--- Begin Message --- It is easier to blame the cavers than accept that we are not able to control a natural process. The decon mandate makes it look like we are doing something and gives some folks the warm fuzzies. Cleaning gear should be a normal process, kinda nice not dealing with the end

Re: [Texascavers] looking for caving tips -Missouri

Over in southeast Missouri, between Eminence and Round Spring you will find fun things to do. Check out "Devil's Well" as you can do that by yourself. Even better, ask around to see if there is some caver that knows how to actually rappel into it. I think there is a light-bulb at the bottom

Folks, While I think that cleaning gear is a great idea for a lot of reasons, it was very interesting to listen to Dr. Tuttle’s Keynote presentation on WNS and bats at the NSS Convention Friday Banquet. To paraphrase him, Deconning of equipment will do no good in preventing the spread of WNS.

Re: [Texascavers] looking for tips - caving in Missouri

Pete, That is a good point, if you're not an NSS Member, joining gives you credibility as a serious caver when you're contacting cavers in other regions. In addition, the members manual and the NSS web page at www.caves.org are great resources for finding cavers in other areas. Geary Schindel
