Re: Another rescue in progress at Utah's Nutty Putty Cave

For those of you frustrated with the flow of information, you should know that the Utah County Sherriff's Office has jurisdiction over this rescue. They have issued what is basically a gag order to all of us that were involved. The sherriff is concerned about unofficial reports making it into the public arena.
Please know that there is much to be said, but it cannot be said. We will have to wait until the official reports come out, and then we'll probably have more breathing room for discussion.
I have probably already said too much in this thread. I would have liked to have said more, but only mentioned the two points that were reported incorrectly by the media. Namely that John was "free" and then re-trapped, and to let you know that we cavers were not involved in the "unanimous" decision to make the cave into John's grave. I will withhold further commentary for now.
