[Texascavers] International Exploration at the 2010 NSS Convention

2010-04-15 Thread Mark Minton

Hello cavers!

Have you been caving outside the US? How about giving a 
presentation on it at this year's NSS Convention?  Yvonne Droms and I 
(Mark Minton) are co-chairing the International Exploration session 
and we are looking for speakers. Any talk about cave exploration 
anywhere in the world outside the US is welcome!  (For exploration 
within the U. S. there is separate day-long session).


The exact date for the International Exploration Session has 
not been determined yet, but it will be either the Tuesday or 
Wednesday of Convention week (Aug 3 or 4). Talks will be 20 - 30 
minutes long depending upon how many presenters there are, and the 
session runs from 9 AM to 5 PM.  You will need to send us an abstract 
of your talk by mid-May (only one month away!) so that it can be 
included in the Convention Program.  See also this link for more 
information on presentations and abstracts: 
http://www.nss2010.com/sessions.php


Please pass this request along to any caver you know who's 
been on an international expedition. Our contacts are:


Mark Minton: mmin...@caver.net or mmin...@illinoisalumni.org
Yvonne Droms: ydr...@rosettastone.com

Thanks, and we hope to see you at the Convention in Vermont!

Mark Minton and Yvonne Droms

[Texascavers] Pictures from February San Antonio/Austin caver trip to Bustamante

2010-04-15 Thread Dale Barnard
In February, 2010, San Antonio and Austin cavers went off-trail in Grutas de 
Bustamante in Nuevo Leon, Mexico. You can see the full-sized photos that I took 
here:

I managed to light up most of Breakdown Mountain with a single flash, though it 
is grainy from the high ISO and Photoshop leveling work. You can also see the 
new developed walkways inside the cave, and the bright commercial lighting.

[Texascavers] DP Deconstruction Cancelled

2010-04-15 Thread A. Wertheim

The weather forecast is calling for more showers thru the weekend, and wet 
steel is just plain dangerous for me and anyone standing under me when I fall,  
so I'm calling off the porch deconstruction portion of the DP weekend at this 
time.  We will be rescheduling in the next few weeks.
Don should be posting a notice about whether he intends to keep the other 
projects and caving open for this weekend.  To those who've volunteered to help 
me with the project I thank you for your support and please check back for 
updates.

I delved into the TABC thing extensively for ICS.  Just don't charge for it
donations fine but not required and the technicality is that if someone
walks off the street into the party they are eligible for the door prizes or
a drink free.  Can't discriminate.  The good news is that won't happen but
you should be safe.

 David,

 Things seem to be shaping up nicely. You are obviously spending some time
 and money to make this first ever event a success. Your efforts should be
 rewarded with a nice turnout by friends, cavers and their families.
 Presuming the weather is nice, we should all make an effort to attend.
 If a larger number than David is anticipating show up, there will be
 adequate food if a backup of hot dogs is satisfactory. It isn't the food,
 it's the camaraderie and the outing.

 If the winery will not be serving, selling or having a wine tasting, I'm
 not sure why they will be setting up a booth.

 The property owner/manager's conditions for allowing participants to
 B.Y.O.B. seem confusing and unenforceable but what the heck, we can.

 Geezer and girls plan to attend.

 Subject: [Texascavers] caving event question and TABC

 When cavers get together for small events in Texas,
 what is the protocol for deciding whether to apply for a temporary
 TABC permit?Such as the one at the wine tasting at ICS
 ( that was TCMA, right ? )

 The cookout that I am hosting is about 4 miles from a winery,
 and they have volunteered to set up a small display booth, and I was
 considering buying about 6 bottles and giving them away as
 door prizes.

 But they will not be selling or serving the wine.

 The owner is o.k. with that idea.

 Do I need to pay for a TABC temporary permit?   The problem
 is I will most likely have a donation bucket somewhere in the
 vicinity, and that is where the law gets crossed.

 On a related note,

 he also indicated he is o.k.
 with people having their own alcohol as long as it is not being
 served at the event, and as long as minors and kids are
 kept away from it.

 Here is the wine list:

 I am waiting on an e-mail from the winery to see if they
 have a better idea.


 Please send the comments to me privately, in order not to
 bother the other subscribers.

According to the article cited, to register a Mexican cell 
phone you need a person's CURP, a supposedly unique ID number.  One 
might think those numbers would be kept private, sort of like social 
security numbers in the U.S. (admittedly not all that secret).   I 
would have thought it would be difficult to register in someone 
else's name, but the article said many people were using Felipe 
Calderon, so I guess the numbers must be readily available.

[Texascavers] Amistad Cave Project weekend in June :

2010-04-15 Thread JerryAtkin
 
There will be a scheduled  project trip to Amistad National Recreation Area 
near Del Rio, Texas on the  weekend of June 19-20, 2010.  I have slots for 
about 15 people so this  will be a first come-first serve opportunity for 
folks. 
The goals for the trip will  be to: 
1.)  Relocate caves and  karst features that were noted by the 
International Boundary Water Commission  back in the early 1960s.  We have 
rough 
locations and descriptions but no  one has relocated and surveyed these 
features 
since then. 
2.)  Explore and survey  the caves and karst features that have been 
relocated. 
3.)  Ridgewalk areas  that have no known caves. 
Camping will be  provided by the NPS at the group camping site.  For those 
that  want a warm bed and sit-down meal, Del Rio is only about 15 minutes  
away. 
Some of the caves may be  vertical and/or require digging to open.  The 
flora in the area can only be  described as vicious so bring tweezers and long 
pants.  Heavy hiking boots  are a must if you don't want the cactus and 
lechuguilla to cripple you.   The  weather at that time of the year will be 
warm 
and probably dry, so  plan accordingly.  If you have any questions, please 
contact me off  digest. 
I hope to see you all out  there.  There's plenty of caves and karst for 
everyone  !

[Texascavers] Second annual Floyd Collins Festival in Bowling Green :

2010-04-15 Thread JerryAtkin
 
Cave museum to host Collins  celebration
By NATALIE JORDAN, The Daily News
Thursday, April 15, 2010 10:01 AM  CDT 
 
In 1925 people across the nation, especially in cave country, listened  
intently to their radios, awaiting the fate of Floyd Collins, who found himself 
 trapped after trying to find a new entrance into the system of underground 
caves  that were popular tourist attractions.

Known as one of the most famous  cave explorers of his time, The American 
Cave Museum is set to host the second  Floyd Collins Fest, a celebration of 
the life and times of Collins.

“He  was the operator of Crystal Cave, which he discovered in 1917 and is 
now part of  Mammoth Cave National Park, and was looking for a new route to 
get inside  Crystal Cave to get an edge on his competitors,” said David 
Foster, an organizer  of the event. “He found a hole in Sand Cave. However, he 
got trapped on the way  back out. A rock fell and wedged his foot in a tight 
crevice and he was not able  to get out. And while this huge rescue effort 
was taking place above ground, he  died.”

Sponsored by the Hart County Chamber of Commerce, the Horse Cave  Rotary 
Club and the Kentucky Arts Council, the three-day festival will be  buzzing 
with activity from presentations to tours.

“The Floyd Collins  rescue was one of the biggest human interest media 
events. It was the first time  radio broadcasters could report from remote 
locations, and people were listening  to their radios for two weeks to find out 
what happened,” Foster said. “The  whole ordeal attracted several hundred 
people, inspired a book, a movie and a  hit song, ‘The Death of Floyd Collins,’
 sung by country singer Vernon  Dollheart.”

The festival kicks off Friday with a reception at 5 p.m. at  the American 
Cave Museum, which is followed by a presentation from author Roger  Brucker, 
who wrote “Trapped!” and “The Longest Cave.”

The festival will  resume Saturday with registration beginning at 8 a.m. 
From 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.,  those in attendance will be surrounded with a 
flurry of activity, such as  viewing the exhibit of Floyd Collins Memorabilia 
to 
tours of Collins’ home in  Sand Cave and his grave site.

Those in attendance will also be able to  participate in a question and 
answer session with the Collins family, historian  Stan Sides and Dr. William 
Halliday, author of “Depths of the Earth.” In  addition to the question and 
answer session, attendees will be able to watch a  Floyd Collins documentary 
and rare film clips from the Collins era as well as  listen to live music 
from that era during an old-time radio show at 7 p.m. at  the Kentucky 
Repertory Theatre.

Musical acts will include Foster, The  Hart County Choral Society, Lock and 
Key Barbershop Quartet, Dale Jett and Hello  Stranger, Hazel Johnson, Colin 
Grant-Adams and Harry Bickle.

There will  also be a tour of Hidden River Cave.

On Sunday, field trips start. They  are on a first-come, first-served 
basis, with a maximum of 25 per trip. There  will be three field trips, with 
the 
first field trip touring Crystal Cave, the  second trip visiting Diamond 
Caverns and Bells Tavern and the third field trip  touring Kentucky Caverns and 
the Marshall Collins Cave.

Tickets for the  three-day festival are $25, which includes the radio show. 
Tickets for only the  radio show at KRT are $10, and $10 for the Sunday 
tours.

“Many older  people still remember this,” Foster said.

Foster said when Collins was  later excavated from the cave, he lay in a 
glass coffin, and people would pay  money to see the cave and him on the way 
into the cave. About 15 years ago,  relatives of Collins petitioned the park 
to have him buried properly.

In  addition to the ordeal being one of the biggest movements in media, it 
also  helped to galvanize Mammoth Cave National Park, he said.

“This brought  media attention to the whole cave region,” Foster said. “It 
was a time when new  technology brought news to the masses that they may 
not have gotten  before.”

[Texascavers] cave scientist in the news

You have to be careful what you say when you do interviews with
newspapers.   ( Fortunately,
I learned that lesson when I was young. )

In this case she claimed:

“As far as I know, I am the only woman doing exploration and science
in underwater caves,” she said.
“There are some other women who cave dive, but they do it for
exploration only and for a short time only.”

If that is not true, I am sure it was taken out of context, or the
reporter sensationalized it to get
a good story.

As far as she knows -- she just doesn't know very far. :-)
