Thanks Fritz, and to Mark Alman for the links. Interesting stories, but as usual, the reporter doesn't do a very good job of fact checking. She claims Carlsbad's Big Room is the second largest in the world. Bob Gulden lists it as no. 20 <http://www.caverbob.com/room.htm>, and Fabien Darne has it at no. 23 <http://fabien.darne.free.fr/speleo/grandes_salles/>. Several rooms in Mexico and Belize are larger. Mark Minton
