Disappearing bats

For anyone exploring caves in our National Park system, things have changed dramatically. White nose disease has crossed the pond from Europe. My wife and I just returned from Lava Beds National Monument, Crater Lake, and Newberry National Volcanic Monument. The disease is 90-99% fatal to bat populations once it is introduced

You cannot enter a cave if you are wearing any clothing that has been in a cave in the last 10 years. We were turned away at Newberry as we caved in Lava Beds first. You will need to carry separate shoes and clothes and equipment for every cave you enter and never enter a cave with reused clothing.
