I'm just glad that somebody finally said what everyone was thinking!

Really disappointed in this since Debby spells her name with a "y"

Say Goodbye to Devils, the river of death is about to overcome the screen of awesome.
I'd say the river intrusion tunnel off the main line is doing exactly what its name implies.

Yes, why wouldn't they be?
While Telford might not be the drive up and dive like it used to be, its still no stretch to stroll up the river and dive...
Lafayette? Park, Goldline, amenities, what more do you need?
PIII is for sure, big park, tank benches, Goldline, 30 foot of vis for the most part

I find the syntax "tourist cave" pretty misleading, as it's intended to be demeaning or indicative of an "easy" cave...however we all know it's just as easy to die in one.
In climbing people refer to the zodiac route up el capitan as a "tourist" route. Once you are into the meat of it, above the nipple pitch, multiple iffy placements of successive hooking doesn't feel so "touristy".
Geez since so many seem to take offense with the term "tourist cave" it is simple. A tourist cave is one that is generally open and known for all to dive, has gold line, and has the lines maintained. It is not meant as a slight or to imply that it is an easier cave compared to "non-tourist". Most don't generally speak openly of the non-tourist caves for multiple reasons such as access, conservation, difficulty in both getting to the cave and the cave environment, etc.
I'm a tourist cave diver and go in both types of systems. It is a simple way of defining the common caves that most all of us know about.
Tourist caves (based on Bobby's explanation):
Jackson Blue
Madison Blue
Peacock
Peacock III
Devil's
Little River
Lafayette Blue
Jug Hole
Eagle's Nest...
...am I missing any?
