Spelunking/TRESPASSING/caving on the history channel
Posted: Oct 24, 2014 12:21 pm
So, I'm at home, working on tonight's work, and happen across a TV show on the History channel about these two guys wandering around in a set of old mines/quarries and talking about the relations to the nights templar. Well, that is all good, but as they are going into the smallish, cave looking entrance, they host mentions that they aren't supposed to be there, repeatedly calling the place a cave and caves, and they make a show of being sneaky with their parking and going in. I'm not impressed. This is how the History channel wants to portray caving? Just going into archaeological sites without permission and doing whatever? Real nice. Yea, it's not a cave, but non-cavers won't make that distinction, they just see "cavers' trespassing into this site, wandering around with coleman lanterns and no proper gear.
