And why do we as cavers always have to "accomplish" something when we go in a cave. I am not talking about picking up trash we might find along the way. Although I do enjoy surveying and restoration work, I sometimes like to go caving just to have fun.

It was a decision to provide reasonable access to the caver community for a 1 time event while still protecting other sensitive caves and I think it also helped to "funnel" the masses to caves that were already well visited and where landowner issues were mostly solid. BUT it was a calculated risk with respect to that data set. I saw many people printing off every cave in the set! I just hope they actually get to visit and enjoy all of them :P

I've personally talked with cave owners and asked them if their cave could be included in a county survey to be published. Some are all for it while others get downright hostile about it! All I'm sayin' is....RESPECT the landowners wishes!
