[GeoStL] Re: Sensitive areas generally RE: Good News

-
I was aware of the cave issue. I was referring to just standing in the 
woods.  A GPSr is would not work inside a cave and I don't believe Dan 
would place a cache directly in the mouth of a cave. I have NEVER 
entered a cave without an experience spelunker who would be familiar 
with the times of the year you are referencing. This is not only an 
issue with endangered animals but more importantly, it is a safety 
issue!!! Unfortunately, not everyone follows the same rules I 
follow......
