I would consider going if it was only one week. Two weeks is a huge time commitment. Is the entrance so large it will require two weeks to gate?

So you're saying that a bunch of people working on a gating project is OK, but turning it into a workshop might encourage otherwise-normal people to embark on some big cave-gating crusade?
I'm skeptical, but certainly anything is possible.
