Re: [PBSS] elections, and Christmas
So where and when would PBSS have their Christmas party in Carlsbad? Can it be in a RV park? I need to plug in my camper so I can use the 110v outlets! without using the generator. Cheers...

[Texascavers] Re: New Project! Inner Space Caverns (HONEY CREEK CAVE TRIPS ANNOUNCEMENT!)
Right you are, Mark, don't forget tank hauls in Honey Creek Cave, Texas' longest cave. We have our own tee shirt now, just distributed at TCR. Matter of fact, there are two tank haul trips being planned now for mid to late January 2011, and two more in the spring. So, there will be plenty of fun for us all! The first two tank hauls in mid-late January will be to support Jean "Creature" Krejca and James Brown, two of the top cave divers in the USA and living right here in the Lone Star State, in replacing the 18 - 20 year-old dive line in the 1,435 foot long HS upstream sump. Their gear will go in one weekend and come out the other. We need lots of strong cavers, around 25, and the trip will require a wetsuit and a smiley disposition. We will not be waiting on the divers, so a long wait in the fumes of Mallory's scented candles will not be your experience, unlike what has happened before. There are many great photos to be had in the almost three miles of the cave you will see, but please take them on the way back to the entrance from the sump. I'm ready to begin taking names of those cavers interested in these trips. We will finalize the dates in the next week. And if you go on one or both of the tank hauls, then you will qualify to go on an exploration trip sometime next year when we will take my new 20' deer stand ladder in, which breaks apart in five four foot sections, and get up the Shower Stall and the other dome near it, which we will pass on the tank hauls. Ellie Watson is helping me organize these trips, so please let either of us know that you're interested.

Inner Space Caverns Let it never be said that there aren't enough opportunities to go caving in Texas! Between all of our existing TSA projects (CBSP, Gov't Canyon, Longhorn), the new Devils River Project, TSS' Lake Amistad Project, the DFWG's Spring Creek Cave project, and a load of other less publicized projects out there, just pick a weekend and there will be something to do and somewhere to go. As long as they're announced here and entered into the wonderful TSA Calendar. Which leads us to our next new Project! I began discussions over a month ago, during a sojourn to Longhorn, and after having given a cave talk to a large group of Boy Scout leaders near Salado. The general manager and landowner were very interested in beginning volunteer activities with the TSA at this spectacular cave and, IMHO, one of the best show caves in the Southwest. Here's what they initially would like for us to do: Power Washing the trails - After hours (they close at 5:30) and using their equipment. Rubber boots or tennis shoes recommended. Algae cleanup from formations - Ditto, but if you have resto equipment, you're welcome to bring it. I'm thinking this would be a Friday night and/or a Saturday night project, for as long as it takes or folks are interested, and they also have graciously volunteered to take volunteers on a wild cave tour, either Saturday day or Sunday AM. No dates have been set, as I'm just trying to gauge the interest level. This would be an excellent project for college cavers, due to it's proximity to Austin (and DFW, for that matter). Please contact me offline and I'll put you down. Thanks again and hope to hear from YOU!
