I was just curious which of the tour caves have closed due to WNS. I saw that Wyandotte Cave in Indiana was closed. ( I believe that is a state owned tour cave, as opposed to a privately owned one. )
I know there has been some debate about tour caves putting up barriers to keep bats out of their caves. A bat with WNS could just as easily fly into a tour cave, and hook up with some other bats there. Which of the tour caves have had bat fatalities from WNS ? Could a tourist somehow spread the virus by taking 2 cave tours in the same clothes? I would not believe that. Are any cavers for the closing of caves that seldom have bats in them ? It seems that if none of the tour caves are going to close, what is the point of closing the caves that are not tour caves? That decision seems to be based purely on economics. I have a feeling that WNS is not high on Obama's plate at the moment. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com
