Wagner Creek Caves Desecration. I'm angry now!
Little known, the Wagner Creek Caves are just south of the Miami River on SW 17 Ave. They were reportedly dug by workers who expanded upon solution holes when the river was being dredged. Several years ago this was a pretty little creek, with unscathed oolitic limeston ledges. Now a huge building is being erected, and instead of keepign the ledge - get this - they are cementing limestone chunks to the nice intact limestone. Who owns the property? The Miccosukee Tribe. Here's what it used to look like - www.channel2.org/miamiriver/oc/photo/mrcpreview8.html
