    So the bats got their very own version of histoplasmosis.... its a sad thing. I'm glad they finally decided cavers were NOT the ones helping spread this and that we might actually want to help resolve it....

    Why yes that was me in shorts and a t-shirt oops, a drysuit @ the 700' marker

    Do the bats get in trouble with nacd or does it just get overlooked

    Pretty sure they are summarily ignored.... honestly I would freak out a bit if I saw one flying around in Little River though.... at that point I have probably violated my 100' depth and am racking up some deco... because I must be narc'd....
