As many of you know a handfull of cavers have been fighting with the state trust for the last couple of years to keep Nutty Putty and other caves on their land open.
I am very sad to report that we had to seal off one of the caves this weekend. A couple of weeks ago some yahoo shot the lock, they were not successful at getting in. Then this weekend (Friday Night) they made another attempt and were successful.
The cave they broke into was not at all significant. That made the deciscion to seal it easier. But it is bringing back to life the talk of sealing Nutty Putty permanently. The state trust would be more than happy to toss boulders into the entrance and dump a truck full of cement over it.
excuse me while I yell for a moment...
NUTTY PUTTY IS VERY EASY TO GET ACCESS TO!!! You simply fill out the form and agree to do it safely and with the proper gear. The only pain is the 3 days in advance.
Please help us to keep Nutty Putty and other caves on State Trust land open by spreading the word and abiding to the rules. You might think the grottos are the ones closing off the caves. That is not the case, we have fought long to keep them open, many of us put in countless hours of volunteer work to provide access to you. Please help us to keep the caves open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The same situation is happening with countless caves of BLM and Forest service land. The grottos are your friends.. we are working to keep caves open rather than being closed permanently.
