All IUOA Caving trips on HOLD until further notice...
Some National Forest lands, including Hoosier National Forest, are closed to caving indefinitely because of White-Nosed Bat Syndrome. They will be ticketing anyone they find in violation of this closure. Please respect this ban as Indiana has endangered species of bats and we do not want to see them go extinct.
