Aww thanks Bill! See, I've heard every true caver figures out how to move south and that's why none are left in Michigan lol if I ever see them I"ll say hi, I've not seen 'em since last summer and I don't plan on going up north again. The only reason i would is if I can convince some capi friends of mine to try caving, haha.Bill Putnam wrote:Amy,
If you and your friend have any trouble at all getting hooked up with cave trips and/or directions, come see me at the SCCi booth. I have maps and directions to every cave worth visiting in TAG. So does Andy Zellner and so does Buddy Lane. We will fix you up and make sure you cave till you drop. No kidding!
Bill
p.s. Give my love to Jean and Dave and those mean old Michigan cavers. Tell them to come South, where the Big Ones are.

It's really unfortunate that so many caving events, particularly the TAG Fall Cave-In, have become dog-hostile. I understand that historically there have been a few bad apples that have allegedly spoiled it for everyone, but is it really such an enforcement/liability/noise/whatever issue that the organizers can't just require the dogs to always be on leash and under control like most campgrounds/parks that I've ever been to, instead of banning them from the entire event?
