Lord British is a caver? We should have the grotto meeting at his castle on Lake Austin instead. ~~T --- On Sun, 4/26/09, Gary Franklin garyfrankl...@austin.rr.com wrote: From: Gary Franklin garyfrankl...@austin.rr.com Subject: [Texascavers] UT Grotto Meeting – Wednesday April 29, 2009 To: Texas Cavers Texascavers@texascavers.com Cc: rgarri...@spaceadventures.com rgarri...@spaceadventures.com List-Post: texascavers@texascavers.com Date: Sunday, April 26, 2009, 11:37 PM Underground Texas Grotto meeting April 29, 2009 www.utgrotto.org The meeting is on Wednesday from 7:45 P.M. - 9:00 P.M. on the University of Texas Campus in 2.48 Painter Hall http://www.utexas.edu/maps/main/buildings/pai.html The Presentation will be by Richard Garriott Mission to the International Space Station Richard will talk about his life's journey that includes being a past member of the UT grotto, the pathway that led him to the ISS, and will also talk of the training, flight, and impressions of the earth from that flight.

[Texascavers] Fwd: J2 Update!
Looks like UTG member Mike Pugliese, who has only been caving for a year, has gotten a great crash course in caving! -- Mixon Begin forwarded message: From: Michael Pugliese m...@mpphoto.ws List-Post: texascavers@texascavers.com Date: April 25, 2009 3:15:47 PM CDT To: Mixon Bill bmixon...@austin.rr.com Subject: J2 Update! Reply-To: m...@mpphoto.ws I personally reached a depth of -1100m and spent 10 consecutive days underground with Bill, Vickie, and 2 others shuttling dive gear to camp III. The cave is incredibly beautiful, but way more details on that when I get back in two weeks. These updates have transpired in the past 2 days. Wednesday preliminary dives yielded information on an upper lead on the far side of sump II. This lead is said to be extensive, and large open borehole. It is probable that this allows a bypass of sump III. 9mm line and communication was successfully rigged through sump II yesterday and camp 4 has been established on a sandy spot on the far side.
