Subject: Collapse at Madison???

I'm forwarding this for Kyle Kepley of Tampa:

"Me and a friend were on our way to the Half Hitch at Madison today and
found the passage at around 1000ft to be severely blocked by a whole bunch of
white clay that buries the main line and leaves barely enough space for
someone to squeeze through but not without a total siltout.  We turned the
dive, but I figure someone here with more experience might be interested in
finding out what happened and if this part of the cave is even accessible
anymore.  The owner said a few days ago the whole basin was milky white for
quite a while, even turning the river white."

Anyone know what's going on?
