That is absolutely fantastic that they are interested enough to want to 
help with putting out a real cache. Getting the ranges  interested in 
caching does nothing but help the cause and everything that we can do to 
foster these sorts of relations is great.

The agencies have quit "advertising" the caves on the maps a while back and 
I think they would hope no one ever mentions them  for various ecology 
reasons. About the only folks that know about many caves are the "cavers" 
and folks like yourself interested in archeology stuff.  The rest of us are 
just kept in the dark about such things..
