My aim will be to try to forge a constructive bond with them - I don't anticipate a fight or bad blood. There are quite a few well known cavers who are also DNR and former DNR. I hope to get some of them to come out as well.

Scientists have been hopeful that since caves south of Kentucky are a few degrees warmer than those in the Northeast, that the spread of WNS would be slower. I am afraid that if WNS doesn't show up in TAG this year, that the state and federal agencies will all pat themselves on the back and further state that cave closures have indeed helped slow the spread, when in actuality cave temp changes were the causative agent.
