In order to reduce vandalism to Cave of the Clouds and create a more secure area for bats, we are installing a gate. We have hauled 4000 pounds of cement (15-50 pounds at a time in backpacks) up the side of the mountain. Today, we undertake the brutal task of carrying up one of the steel gates.
Defiance Cave Preserve-Hauling the Final Gate
Thanks to all the volunteers who have jumped in and helped carry 4000 pounds of cement, steel and a very heavy generator to Cave of the Clouds. (add volunteer list) The following videos, showing a single steel gate being slowly dragged up the mountain, will give you an idea how difficult and dangerous the project has been at times.
