Gem State Grotto Creates New Cave Trailer for the Shoshone FO: Fifteen volunteers from the Gem State Grotto of Boise and the Silver Sage Grotto of Twin Falls teamed up for a hard day’s work in the desert this past Saturday to repair a vandalized bat gate on Spider Cave on the Shoshone FO. In addition to repairing the gate, Gem State Grotto delivered the Cave Trailer to Shoshone Outdoor Recreation Planner David Freiberg. The Cave Trailer is a volunteer project funded by BLM during the past two years. Designed by Jim Hathorn of the Gem State Grotto, the covered trailer is equipped with a welder, compressor and generator and is a self-contained unit able to provide full support for cave gate construction, cave gate repair, sand-blasting for graffiti removal up to 400 feet into any cave and a variety of other much-needed cave maintenance jobs.
