Course Update: Suggestions for driving to avoid bridge delays in Canton: 1) Coming from the north on HWY 11: OPTION 1 to get to J Lot parking: turn left at the first traffic light (before Best Western / Stewarts corner); (approx 1 mile) turn right onto Pike Road then turn right at the blinking red light. Drive to SLU parking in J lot on your right. OPTION 2 to get to J Lot parking: Stay on HWY 11, enter the formal entrance to SLU (turning left after going through the first stop light for Canton), then follow the winding road which comes out to Park St., turn left and proceed to J Lot as usual. |

Inherent in wild places is an air of mystery and the unknown. This single session presentation considers the wonders of cave resources across a range of national park contexts. Furthermore, it questions how we experience these protected places and what the National Park Service has done to address our impacts on them. The format will combine lecture and discussion.
