[NMCAVER] Cave Closings in the Guads - update
Hi all, I have been maintaining communications with Jacque Buchanan, the Forest Supervisor of the Lincoln National Forest concerning the closoing of the caves in the Guads. Here is an update of what has happened since our meeting in Carlsbad on Feb 22nd: Jacque has met with her counterparts at BLM and Carlsbad Caverns National Park. She has also had a meeting with Jerry Trout (who is retiring at the end of the month). The talks with the Washington office are going well and she has another meeting with Jerry at the end of this week. The development of the proposal going forward up the chain of the Forest Service to improve the Cave Management program is progressing on schedule and should be available for review in about two weeks. The cave permit system for the Guadalupe Office will be back up and running (issuing permits) by the end of this week (Friday the 12th). She is planning another meeting in Carlsbad in about two weeks to review the new proposal for the cave managment program. I and several others have provided her with comments about the current system and how we believe it could be improved. She claims to have considered all of the suggestions and to have incorporated many of them into the new program. While her plate is very full with many different activities occuring, she is devoting a significant share of her time to the issue of the caves, cavers, and cave management. So far she does not appear to be the same type of "Forest Service" manager that we have seen in the past. She actually acts like she realizes that the caves are a very valuable asset and deserve a level of attention that has not been present in the past. She also seems genuine in listening to the concerns of the caving community. I will keep you informed as things develop.

[Texascavers] Honey Creek Cave tank haul trip this weekend is ON!
Kurt Menking called me a little while ago. Some Bexar Grotto cavers and he went in the shaft entrance this morning and upstream to the sump which was sumped and caused us to abort our trip on January 30. I am happy to report that the water level is at a normal level. So, the trip this weekend is ON. We could still use a few more people. Please send me an e-mail if you're interested. Best regards, Bill Steele PS - and thanks a lot Kurt, and whoever else went with him! - Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com

[Texascavers] TSS work session
Cavers, Just a gentle reminder to attend the TSS work session tomorrow evening, Wednesday, March 10. We will be sorting through Colorado Bend data and filing some west Texas counties. The library will be open. Ron
[Texascavers] Government Canyon Karst Project
This is a reminder that this month's Government Canyon Karst Project is coming up soon, on the 20th and 21st. We have some interesting digs that we are working on, caves to explore and survey, and vertical and horizontal caves to push. Of course, there are always more caves waiting to be found in virgin ridgewalk territory. Camping is available. Contact me to set it up. Directions to the Government Canyon Karst Project: Find the intersection of U.S. 16 and Loop 1604 in northwest Bexar County (clearly shown on any state highway map). Drive 2 miles north on U.S. 16 to the third traffic light and turn left onto FM 1560 (there is a Shell station on the corner). Follow 1560 for 3 miles till you see the sign for GCSNA. Follow the arrow to the right and drive 2 more miles to the sharp left turn in the road. The gate to GCSNA is straight ahead. Enter at the gate and then take the first right. There is an unlocked gate that will need to be opened and then closed behind you. Continue to the Volunteer/Research Station, where we will meet. -Marvin Miller (210) 415-5190
[Texascavers] earthquake movements
Moving the city nearest the epicenter of the quake 10 feet, as recently happened in Chile, is about par for a major earthquake. The maximum displacement along the fault of the earthquake that destroyed San Francisco in 1906 was also about 10 feet. As John McPhee points out in his book "Annals of the Former World" (a Pulitzer-prize-winning popular book about geology that I highly recommend), 50,000 major earthquakes will move something about a hundred miles. Earthquakes brought pieces of California from the far corners of the world, a good indication of the depths of geologic time.--Mixon Nature is a hanging judge.

[Texascavers] cosmic impacts and caves
There have been some recent news stories about the impacts of comets, meteors, etc. One story today, claimed that around 13,000 years ago there was some kind of major impact in North America. Caves would be a good record-keeper of such a recent event. I seem to recall some cavers talking about some shifted speleothems in hill country caves, and the theory I heard was there must have been an earthquake. Is there any correlation between those speleothems in various caves around the 13,000 year ago time-frame ? What year did the Devil's Sinkhole collapse? Since there is not a ton of upper Pliestocene bones on top of the hill, wouldn't it have had to have collapsed in the Holocene ?
