This article in the Rome, Georgia newspaper makes one wonder about some caves in NW Georgia, coming with the WNS factor. http://romenews-tribune.com/view/full_s ... =home_news
What with the problems the BOG has to be concerned with this weekend, in San Jose, I wonder how much further we can tolerate the factor of WNS and our declining membership in the NSS? Not saying that they are related-- - but something sure is affecting a decline in numbers. Hopefully, we'll see an increase of NSS memberships and/or re-ups, but...WNS going as far south as Ellison's and Pettyjohn's doesn't make for good PR. And, when the newspapers keep pointing out that cavers "might be" carrying the WNS spores, its a tough road to try and repair.
