Safety Tips for the Spelunker
 
When Exploring  
  Caves Remember:
1.  Never go alone.

2.  Take at least 3 sources of light per person (flashlight,
     carbide lamp. candle, etc.)  Also take extra batteries
     and matches.

3.  Realize that caves are very fragile and that much
     damage can be done, even accidentally.

4.  Go with somebody who is familiar with caves.

5.  Make sure people know where you are.

6.  Get the cave owner's permission before visiting the
     cave.

7.  Do not go into caves when it is raining or when it
     might rain.  Caves can flood in a short time.

8.  Take nothing but pictures;  leave nothing but
     footprints;  kill nothing but time.
