Yes, the Anniston Museum of Natural History has a small but very well-done artificial cave, not to mention a very nice museum overall. For the town the size of Anniston it is an outstanding museum, and we are proud to have it in our area.
That being said, I really have a problem with the whole concept of trying to convince people to go caving. Caving is one of those things that, if a person has the inclination to do it, then yes, we should encourage them to pursue it, and educate and guide them on how to do it properly and safely. But if they aren't interested, and it just isn't their thing, then I for one will not try to persuade them otherwise. (I admit I have done it in the past) We have all met people that, when you tell them about your passion for caving, they look at you like you are nuts. "Aren't you afraid of ...(fill in the blank)." Or they say "I could never do that!" That's fine-we don't want everyone to go caving; just think how much impact and damage would be done to the caves we enjoy.
Does this concept make sense to anyone else?
