Incident report

Two local people from a nearby trailer park had to be rescued from Dead Deer Cave.

Analysis: Because of inexperience the two people had entered the cave without proper equipment. This incident occurred in spite of (or possibly because of) a much-publicized rescue in the same cave on the previous weekend. In March. a thick steel and concrete gate was installed by several Texas cavers. Hopefully, this will halt the progression of rescues required at this cave.
