The NSS purchased the main (upper) entrance to Great X in January 2003. Soon afterward the Front Range Grotto donated $ 1241.00 towards the purchase (both from the treasury and individual member donations to FRG). For this, FRG received a plaque from the NSS making FRG the Honorary Owner of the “Lost Worland River” passage and the cave depth of 383 feet below the main entrance. The NSS paid off the Great X mortgage in November 2006.
