name the top 3 states in number of documented caves, counting show (public viewing) formerly show, and wild.?

Question

number 1, the most, thru number 3, the third most. this should include all caves, on public or private land, whether or not completely explored, or named. you should include All caves, including those associated with a spring. Thanks for your input. Please note: There is some dispute about this, as a few states are very close. Several, in fact. Just for :)'s, not bragging rights, as far as I am concerned.

Answer 1

Without consulting the NSS one would think I might know, but in truth, I'd rather not be informed. I'm only into my present exploration, existing excavations, and ridgewalks. This, um, 'Number 1, 2, 3' suggestion makes me want to puke. The source has been chilling at Cave Avenue too long.
