[Texascavers] Antioch Cave, Austin Tx to be featured on KXAN at 6 PM Wednesday
From: Julie Jenkins Subject: Antioch Cave to be featured on KXAN at 6 PM Wednesday Nov. 18th. Jim Swift, of KXAN, visited Antioch Cave yesterday. He said that the story will be aired today on the 6 PM news. He rappelled into the cave and took some video while crawling down the passage. Huge thanks to Charley Savvas and Bill Russell for their expertise and assistance w/getting Jim Swift and his camera man in and out of the cave. Antioch Cave, owned by the Barton Springs Edwards Aquifer Conservation District is the largest recharge cave site located in a creek on the Barton Springs segment of the aquifer. Several cavers over the years have been involved in mapping and exploration of this cave. Typically the air is not great because the cave takes on such a huge bedload of organic debris and other types of debris that there is lots of high CO2 back further in the cave. We're very excited that our efforts to put as much good input of water into the aquifer as is possible. We believe the limiting factor has been the tight shaft entrance, which Charley has opened up and the ability to keep the debris from restricting flow. Again, our thanks to Charley and Wm. There will be a video link to their website to follow. jules

[Texascavers] Havew you been short changed at a Pemex?
I have been ripped off a time or two at Pemex. Here is a story from a Mexico rv forum. "In my 9 years of coming to Mexico for the winter,I've always been careful to watch what the attendant does,but today he got me just when I was distracted for a second.He shut it down and replaced the cap and told me to come inside for paying.I hesitated and walked back to see the amount and the pumps were blank. He took a minute or two waiting for the machine to spit out a receipt,then he handed it to me and right away I noticed it was for at least $26.00 more than it should be.I deal with liters at home so I know almost exactly what it takes,and knew this was wrong, but he didn't back down.He was charging me for 83 liters and the truck only holds 100 and it was just below half when I came in. I had no proof to argue the point,so paid and stomped out only to find my gauge reading 3/4 full. And now as I sit at the RV park in Hermosillo,I look at that receipt,which by the way he crumpled up and threw away and I retrieved,and I see that it is dated for yesterday at 5:17.Not even my receipt. So be ware you guys coming down Mex 15.Its just a few miles south of Santa Ana.A big one on the west side.#3811 Can anyone direct me to a site to go after these guys?" "Send a complaint to this email: satciu...@cgc.pemex.com " "It is important to always ask for a ticket. With the ticket, you have a much better chance of winning your case. Just ask for a "comprobante" or "ticket". If you pay with credit or debit there is no losing, you have all the proof you want." Hope this helps someone. This type of problem in Mexico is not as common as it once was, but it still pays to be alert at the gas station. Preston in Outer Browder, KY
