I like to make hotcakes for whoever will eat them!
Cavemud wrote:Yep, MUDfest is cancelled because 3 of central PA.'s caves that I control access to have been broken into and vandalism has been done in one of them!!!
It was cavers. They had an agenda. Now I have one.
You'll be reading my name again someday and it won't say Mud.

The caves that were breached recently have all been attended to. Fantasy Cave was buried with about 5 tons of boulders by the landowner. NO CAVING. Blacklog and Sugar Caves were closed by their owners to all caving for now. Hopefully that will change in the future. The landowners there want no one on their properties. They feel very disrespected and of course blame cavers. We're working to remedy that situation. We opened Blacklog by digging in May of 1990 and have had an excellent working relationship with the owner there until this incident. We opened Sugar Cave by digging in September of 2005 after 18 years of sporadic digging. The owner wants no one there either.
