    Default Olsen Access

    I was thinking about the Olsen access hold-up and I started laughing about requiring wheelchair access at the Devil's Millhopper (what a fun ride to the bottom that would be).

    Obviously there are situations when requiring handicap access is just silly.

    How much longer is Olsen going to be closed?

    Hopefully for good.

    The best part of the cave is between Challange and Olson IMHO and that is because of the low traffic.

    Handicap access is not the issue,but erosion control. Give me the video rights when you decide to descend Devil's Mill Hopper in a wheelchair

    Unhappy

    The "word" I have herd is that Olsen will never open up. The state has kept it closed to access just long enough to not reopen it. Too bad the CSO does not have any impact on this.... Ken
