The more I stare at that paragraph, the more I think it's a general
statement about show caves. I've heard owners of some of them
complain about the bad publicity over cave closures and the public
thinking they are closed, calling the cave and asking if they're open,
or worse, calling the cave and asking them why they're still open.
Jen is correct about the Brazilian freetails and Carlsbad, being
migrators, but I know there are other bat species that use the cave -
down in the Big Room area. Either way, I doubt the microclimate
conditions are conducive to WNS.
And, like Mammoth Cave National Park, I sincerely doubt the Park
Service would close the cave anyway. That would basically kill the
Park, and certainly the hue and cry from the businesses in White City
would be loud.

Their last paragraph reads:
Experts said white-nose syndrome has hurt cave in the East
that use bats as tourist attractions. They said it could
have a similar effect on Carlsbad Caverns if the disease
reaches New Mexico.
It sounds like they are referring to the main cave at Carlsbad Caverns
National Park.

Really. That last statement puzzled me. What cave are they
talking about?

I cannot figure how they got their last paragraph (the one Jen
complained about) from anything anybody said at the meeting last
night.
I tried to leave a comment on their web page, but they only accept
comments from facebook users (I appear to be one of the only people
in the world who does not use it). Maybe others can leave a useful
comment.
