By contributing today, you ensure that independent journalism not only survives but thrives in Arkansas. I drive north on Arkansas Highway 43 into the heart of the Ozarks. Thick frost blankets leafless trees on the ridges. They sparkle in the morning sun. The temperature rises to 16 degrees. I stop my truck and put it in park, stepping on the empty highway to snap a photo. Just past Compton, I take a right onto a numbered dirt road and lose my cell signal. But I know this is the way: I remember it from 30 years ago.
Established by federal law in , it is managed under the same rules as any park in the National Park Service, which controls the river, trails and campgrounds, as well as over caves. I first entered Fitton in with colleagues from Henderson State University, an unforgettable trip.
As we talk, an equally large Tundra pulls up. It holds Ben Oates and Sarah Heiser, both avid cavers. He joined the club at age 10, in , and has been paddling the Buffalo and exploring Ozark caves his entire life.
Years later, the closures having mitigated only a small percent of that risk, most federal and state caves have reopened β except for those at the Buffalo National River. When Ben arranged this hike, we exchanged emails about dates, directions and the issues at stake. The damage they did goes unnoticed for months at a time. The one thing that really bugs experienced cavers like Oates is that within the Buffalo National River area, only very limited trips into caves for surveys and study are allowed.
Many of those are done by the Cave Research Foundation , a nonprofit that grew out of scientific work at Mammoth Cave in the s. While nearly all foundation members are longtime cavers, and many recreational cavers join it, those fighting the current closures believe it is inherently unfair to lock out recreation and allow science trips only, because both include some of the same people crawling through the same tunnels.
