Subject: [Texascavers] Honey Creek Cave, January 29, 2011...a trip just for fun!

The Honey Creek January Tank Hauls will not be happening but on January 29th, 
2011 the cave will be open as a THANKS to all who volunteered for the tank 
hauls.

All are welcome to come out for a recreational/lead checkin day of caving at 
Honey Creek Cave. There will be no organized trips so plan to team up with 
someone who has been in the cave before because first-timers will not be 
permitted to go on their own.

You will need a wetsuit for all sections of the cave and fins and a flotation 
if doing the through trip.

Please contact me if you have questions and let me know if you plan on coming 
out.

Here's a little musical nonsense.

Cannot wait to fly again!















Kind of makes flying more personal,  don't it?

[Texascavers] NOT Making it to Carlsbad

2010-12-01 Thread dirtdoc


As many of you know,Mary and Dwigfht are in Terlingua at the moment and hoped 
to make it to the Carlsbad regional on our way home to Denver. 



That will not happen, due to delays in the construction efforts in Terlingua, 
and other trivia.  That's both why we love, and sometimes are frustrated, by  
the realities of South Brewster County. 



Regards to all.  Hope we can see some of you in Bracketville in April with the 
Texicans.

Want to bet these guys haven't just rediscovered the wheel? Sounds to  
me like they're saying that a passage suddenly starts growing faster  
when it becomes large enough that flow in it is turbulent. -- Mixon


All the world's a stage, but the play is badly cast.

Best way to go to these conferences is work for a vendor. And find where the best hospitality rooms are. When I was going to remote sensing confabs, the Canajuns had the best hospitality rooms. Big spreads of salmon & beer. Yum.

I really don't want to hear any complaints about the cost of TCR.

[Texascavers] Winter Tech helmet reminder

2010-12-01 Thread George Veni
For those planning to come to the Southwestern Region's Winter Tech meeting
in Carlsbad this weekend, this message is to confirm that the Saturday
evening party will not be held in NCKRI Headquarters. The building
inspection to create the final touch-up list was just scheduled for Friday,
so there is no chance we'll have our Certificate of Occupancy by Saturday.
An alternate party location will be announced at Winter Tech.

 

I'll still be offering a tour of NCKRI Headquarters on Sunday morning at 9
a.m. As a reminder, technically the building is still a construction site so
you must bring and wear your helmets to get inside the building. And please
decon your helmets against WNS before coming (although I hope and assume
you'll have already done that immediately after your last caving trip!).

 

See you soon,

 

George
