I hope your not talking about the cave between mcbaine and rocheport.
That cave is PRIVATE PROPERTY. Further, there is a sign there saying not to enter it
because the bats that inhabit it are endangered. Of course the sign also has a sign saying
its private property but as you will notice there is a worn path from the KATY into that
cave.
I ride the KATY a lot and I constantly see people have a complete disregard for people's
property rights. I see boy scout troops letting their kids climb cliffs and run through field
crops.
The entire state is not your play pen and this is exactly the kind of thing that landowners
complain about whenever a new trail is planned.
Please tell me why someone would approach something like that and think to themselves,
"oh well...I'm soooo important I will just do it anyway...forget the bats and the fact that its
not my property."
