Didn't they use dynamite to collapse the cave to permanently seal Jones in there?

I didn't know they dynamited it. If that's the case than I guess he's permanently stuck down there.

Reading some of the quotes in the link I posted below, it looks like it's not an irreversible

Also, the cave was closed at the request of the Jones family. They told the land owner

Amusing & Tragic don’t seem to align

Once was enough for me. I didn’t know I was claustrophobic until I explored that cave.

They closed the nutty putty cave so now there is nothing challenging for young adults and they can’t hang out in large

Yes, absolutes are always what we deal with. Always.

Closing places where people die recreating.is a slippery slope.

I get it, but I’m familiar with 2 cave closings in Utah in 40 years. There has to be some balance. The cave where

Nah. No reason for anyone to go in there or any other cave like that

In general, the number of pansies in society has tracked closely with the rate of declining testosterone over the years.

Insurance and liability have a lot to do with it

Ironic that the biggest blocker on CB complains about pansies

Spot on, used to hit the caves frequently in the 90’s …birth canal was tough tho

Went many times. I was to big to do the birth canal but the group I was with wasn't

They should reopen Gollum's Cave in Provo. Sounded awesome.

Very very different caves. Nutty Putty was relatively safe. Jones broke a number of huge spelunking rules and used

What were some of the rules he broke and bad judgment he used? Honest

Didn't somebody die in that cave in the 90s? Got stuck in a tunnel and drowned?

Definitely was better the smaller you were. I went in a few times post growth spurt just because I didn't want to look
