[Fran Hutchins]

Cibolo Bluffs Karsts Survey

When: The 3rd Saturday of November. November 17th 9am.

Where: Cibolo Bluffs Texas Nature Conservancy property (We will meet at 
Bracken Bat Cave property)


Directions: From I35 take exit #175 Go North/West exactly 7 miles. Watch for 
orange traffic cone on left side of road. (If you get to NBC turn around) 
gate will be un-lock. Follow the signs to "volunteer parking"


TNC recently purchased 1244 acres in North Comal County near Gardenridge, 
Texas. The property boarders Bracken Bat Cave property.


We will grid search the property and GPS any karst features we find. No 
experience necessary. Wear long pants, long sleeve shirt and sturdy shoes. 
Bring water, snacks and lunch. This is a great opportunity to survey the old 
Dierks Ranch. BBC & NBC two major caves are only 2 miles away, so the 
potential to find caves is there.

weekend. 
I may, but, honestly, probably not.  Things should calm down by December though

You could be some sort of habitual tagger.  We wouldn't want you in the cave 
now would we?

How far in advance does TPWD need this filled out?  If a background check is 
needed, I'd guess there is a cut-off point.

 

Thanks,

Hi Mark! We have finally finished the paperwork to get volunteers at 
Longhorn!!! Here is the site to go to and apply:

 

http://ec.volunteernow.com/custom/1353/

 

All volunteers must apply, then select a location, easiest to plug in 
Longhorn’s zip code, 78611. The new system works faster than the older paper. 
Thanks Mark!

It’s a very cool website and TPWD has several volunteer opportunities, besides 
caving (imagine that!) that you might be interested in.

 

Complete the online application and see what other areas of interest are out 
there and might appeal to you.

 

I know I found some!

 

 

Very painless!

 

 

 

Thanks!

Mark

Project Weekend, November 2nd thru 4th!


 

Well, with TCR in the rear view mirror, and Halloween will soon be behind us by 
the time this rolls around, what better way to kick off the fall than a

Longhorn Caverns Project weekend involving caving, electricity, and power tools!

The TPWD has graciously followed through and purchased some much needed 
equipment for us to make some long overdue trail improvements to a few areas

Throughout the cave.

Other funds for several other projects in the cave are to follow.

In the meantime, this project will involve scoring ~ 61 feet of concrete 
throughout the cave (after we remove some gawd awful Astroturf © ) to improve 
traction, safety, and overall appearance.

We will have to do this after hours on Saturday night and, if there’s enough 
interest, I’d like to do this on Friday night, as well.

We have enough equipment for 8 (!) crews to be at work at one time.

As a reward for helping out with this, the park is offering:

·   Free camping Friday and Saturday nights

·   Free use of The Basement for wild cave tours (the Crownover back 
entrance is still off limits).

·   A Free Vanishing Texas Bald Eagle Boat Cruise Sunday on beautiful Lake 
LBJ to observe bald eagles!

 If you have water jugs with screw on caps, please bring them.

Hope to see the old hands back at the project this month, as well as any new 
faces interested in helping out.

This is a truly fun and enjoyable project and we try hard to keep it that way 
and we guarantee a great weekend!

Come out to a spectacular and historic cave

Hi Mark! We have finally finished the paperwork to get volunteers at 
Longhorn!!! Here is the site to go to and apply:

 

http://ec.volunteernow.com/custom/1353/

 

All volunteers must apply, then select a location, easiest to plug in 
Longhorn’s zip code, 78611. The new system works faster than the older paper. 
Thanks Mark!

It’s a very cool website and TPWD has several volunteer opportunities, besides 
caving (imagine that!) that you might be interested in.

 

Complete the online application and see what other areas of interest are out 
there and might appeal to you.

 

I know I found some!

 

 

Very painless!

 

 

 

Thanks!

Subject: [Texascavers] Caving AND Power Tools?! It Must Be a Longhorn Caverns 
Project Weekend, November 2nd thru 4th!


 

Well, with TCR in the rear view mirror, and Halloween will soon be behind us by 
the time this rolls around, what better way to kick off the fall than a

Longhorn Caverns Project weekend involving caving, electricity, and power tools!

The TPWD has graciously followed through and purchased some much needed 
equipment for us to make some long overdue trail improvements to a few areas

Throughout the cave.

Other funds for several other projects in the cave are to follow.

In the meantime, this project will involve scoring ~ 61 feet of concrete 
throughout the cave (after we remove some gawd awful Astroturf © ) to improve 
traction, safety, and overall appearance.

We will have to do this after hours on Saturday night and, if there’s enough 
interest, I’d like to do this on Friday night, as well.

We have enough equipment for 8 (!) crews to be at work at one time.

As a reward for helping out with this, the park is offering:

·   Free camping Friday and Saturday nights

·   Free use of The Basement for wild cave tours (the Crownover back 
entrance is still off limits).

·   A Free Vanishing Texas Bald Eagle Boat Cruise Sunday on beautiful Lake 
LBJ to observe bald eagles!

 If you have water jugs with screw on caps, please bring them.

Hope to see the old hands back at the project this month, as well as any new 
faces interested in helping out.

This is a truly fun and enjoyable project and we try hard to keep it that way 
and we guarantee a great weekend!

Come out to a spectacular and historic cave

You could be some sort of habitual tagger.  We wouldn't want you in the cave 
now would we?

How far in advance does TPWD need this filled out?  If a background check is 
needed, I'd guess there is a cut-off point.

 

Thanks,

Background check to be a volunteer?!!  Is this some form of police state we’re

Mark,
 
How far in advance does TPWD need this filled out?  If a background check is 
needed, I'd guess there is a cut-off point.
 
Thanks,

And, you can sign up for so many other things, too - like grant writing!!

And even more exciting activities above ground, too.

This was long overdue - very proud of TPWD for setting this up.  What a great 
tool!

Hi Mark! We have finally finished the paperwork to get volunteers at

Allvolunteers must apply, then select a location, easiest to plug in Longhorn’s

This is a National Historic Site - I don't find it offensive that they want to 
be extra cautious in who they leave alone in this treasure to do unsupervised 
work.

Well, with TCR in the rear view mirror, and Halloween will soon be behind us by 
the time this rolls around, what better way to kick off the fall than a

Longhorn Caverns Project weekend involving caving, electricity, and power tools!

The TPWD has graciously followed through and purchased some much needed 
equipment for us to make some long overdue trail improvements to a few areas

Throughout the cave.

Other funds for several other projects in the cave are to follow.

In the meantime, this project will involve scoring ~ 61 feet of concrete 
throughout the cave (after we remove some gawd awful Astroturf © ) to improve 
traction, safety, and overall appearance.

We will have to do this after hours on Saturday night and, if there’s enough 
interest, I’d like to do this on Friday night, as well.

We have enough equipment for 8 (!) crews to be at work at one time.

As a reward for helping out with this, the park is offering:

·   Free camping Friday and Saturday nights

·   Free use of The Basement for wild cave tours (the Crownover back 
entrance is still off limits).

·   A Free Vanishing Texas Bald Eagle Boat Cruise Sunday on beautiful Lake 
LBJ to observe bald eagles!

 If you have water jugs with screw on caps, please bring them.

Hope to see the old hands back at the project this month, as well as any new 
faces interested in helping out.

This is a truly fun and enjoyable project and we try hard to keep it that way 
and we guarantee a great weekend!

Come out to a spectacular and historic cave and park, friendly park staff, and 
the always entertaining camaraderie of cavers!

 

Hope to see you this month!

 

Thanks!

And, you can sign up for so many other things, too - like grant writing!!

And even more exciting activities above ground, too.

This was long overdue - very proud of TPWD for setting this up.  What a great 
tool!

Hi Mark! We have finally finished the paperwork to get volunteers at 
Longhorn!!! Here is the site to go to and apply:

http://ec.volunteernow.com/custom/1353/

All volunteers must apply, then select a location, easiest to plug in 
Longhorn's zip code, 78611. The new system works faster than the older paper. 
Thanks Mark!

It's a very cool website and TPWD has several volunteer opportunities, besides 
caving (imagine that!) that you might be interested in.

Complete the online application and see what other areas of interest are out 
there and might appeal to you.

I know I found some!


Very painless!



Thanks!
Mark

Mark,

How far in advance does TPWD need this filled out?  If a background check
is needed, I'd guess there is a cut-off point.

Mark,

How far in advance does TPWD need this filled out?  If a background check
is needed, I'd guess there is a cut-off point.

Thanks,
Karen

THANKS to all for making the TCMA Breakfast happen.  There would be no
reason to cook if there were not hungry mouths to feed. And the people
coming out before dawn to prepare the food are noble!  I can get up but
these people can cook!

Great works, and gracias,
Linda

Thanks Linda for making breakfast happen. Also, thanks to all those who were 
out there before dawn getting everything set up and those who showed up after 
dawn to cook and serve. I would also like to thank everyone who came out to 
have some wonderful breakfast and help support TCMA.

Thanks all,

I am posting this for Gill Ediger (I have heard no mention of a keg, so BYOB)

UT Grotto Halloween Party--will take place on Saturday evening 27 October at my 
house: 300 Mockingburd Ln, South Austin TX 78745. That's 2 blocks north and 1 
block west of the intersection of East & West Stassney and South Congress for 
those of you not GPS dependent. Costumes are strongly encouraged. Bring 
something to eat: real food and/or munchies. Parking in the front yards is OK. 
More parking in the field at the back of the driveway. Lots of shoulder parking 
south on Blueburd. There will likely be a hot tub and possibly people in it 
with their britches off. Remember a towel and spare clothes if you think you'll 
need um. Camping will be available as well as couches and floor space. My phone 
number is 410-303-1177. Call, don't text!

people coming out before dawn to prepare the food are noble!  I can  
get up but these people can cook!


Great works, and gracias,
Linda

Another fantastic good time with a community of people who can't be beat! 
Thanks all who made it happen, and next year we plan to try to get there 
earlier to enjoy even more!

Till we're together again, keep caving:)

Thanks Linda for making breakfast happen. Also, thanks to all those who were 
out there before dawn getting everything set up and those who showed up after 
dawn to cook and serve. I would also like to thank everyone who came out to 
have some wonderful breakfast and help support TCMA.

Thanks all,

Bexar Grotto, thank you so much for a really lovely Friday night event. All who 
attended had a wonderful time - delicious food, great beverages, and delightful 
company! I think I see another tradition starting!?

I am posting this for Gill Ediger (I have heard no mention of a keg, so BYOB)

UT Grotto Halloween Party--will take place on Saturday evening 27 October at my 
house: 300 Mockingburd Ln, South Austin TX 78745. That's 2 blocks north and 1 
block west of the intersection of East & West Stassney and South Congress for 
those of you not GPS dependent. Costumes are strongly encouraged. Bring 
something to eat: real food and/or munchies. Parking in the front yards is OK. 
More parking in the field at the back of the driveway. Lots of shoulder parking 
south on Blueburd. There will likely be a hot tub and possibly people in it 
with their britches off. Remember a towel and spare clothes if you think you'll 
need um. Camping will be available as well as couches and floor space. My phone 
number is 410-303-1177. Call, don't text!

Well, with TCR in the rear view mirror, and Halloween will soon be
behind us by the time this rolls around, what better way to kick off the
fall than a
Longhorn Caverns Project weekend involving caving, electricity, and
power tools!

Re: [Texascavers] Caving AND Power Tools?! It Must Be a Longhorn Caverns Project Weekend, November 2nd thru 4th!

[Julia Germany]

 
This is SOOO cool!  I am already registered.

NOTE: When you sign up for LCSP, they require a background check.  Can't be any 
worse than the 24-pager I just completed for a job in Austin!

And, you can sign up for so many other things, too - like grant writing!!

And even more exciting activities above ground, too.

This was long overdue - very proud of TPWD for setting this up.  What a great 
tool!

The TPWD has graciouslyfollowed through and purchased some much needed

In the meantime, thisproject will involve scoring ~ 61 feet of concrete 
throughout thecave (after we remove some gawd awful Astroturf © ) to improve 
traction, safety, and overall appearance.
We will have to do thisafter hours on Saturday night and, if there’s enough 
interest, I’dlike to do this on Fridaynight, as well.
We have enough equipmentfor 8 (!) crews to be at work at one time.
As a reward for helping outwith this, the park is offering:
·   Free camping Friday and Saturdaynights
·   Free use of The Basement for wild cave tours (the Crownover back 
entrance isstill off limits).
·   A Free Vanishing Texas Bald EagleBoat Cruise Sunday on beautiful Lake 
LBJ to observebald eagles!
 If you have waterjugs with screw on caps,please bring them.
Hope to see the old handsback at the project this month, as well as any new 
faces interested in helpingout. 
This is a truly fun andenjoyable project and we try hard to keep it that way 
and we guarantee a greatweekend!
Come out to a spectacularand historic cave and park, friendly park staff, and

Hope to see you this month!

[Texascavers] TCR 2012

[Oztotl]

So far, those pesky Maya were wrong, the world didn't end this weekend. In 
fact, there was a coming together, a reunion, instead. The annual gathering of 
Cavers was joyous and productive, for me anyway. And in a way it's not over, 
there are lost item, more reunions to be. Contact me to inquire.

Cavers, you made it happen, more than three hundred and fifty of you. I merely 
answered a few questions and pointed fingers. Thank you for a great, 
unforgettable weekend! The memories will last a lifetime! I hope you had a good 
time and if you did, please thank yourself and especially these people: our 
spouses & our friends, specifically; Allan Cobb, Ellie Watson, Galen Falgout, 
Ann Scott, Linda Palit, Michael Cicherski, Ron Ralph, Stefan Creaser, Susan 
Souby, Colin & Peter Strickland, Kitty & Kurt, Bill Steele, Amy Beverage, Bev 
Shade, David Ochel, Lydia Hernandez, Denise Prendergrast, Jocie Hooper, Bill 
Stephens, Tommy Joe, Leslie Bell, Vico Jones, RD Milholland, Kyle Leonard, and 
to the many volunteers and good  people, whose personage I have may 
unfortunately  forgot today, who made this wonderful happening!

Thanks to Whole Earth Provision Company, Shiner Brewing, GGG, TSS, TSA, Mercy 
Beads & Jonathan Wilson, for prizes and certificates and, I believe, our first 
ever bouncy castle. There were others, you know who you are, thank you.

Chris Vreeland, thanks for immortalizing the camaraderie. Crash, thanks for 
mastering the ceremony and Angela Edwards for sharing the gifts.

Kyle Leonard, thanks for bringing your Aggies, we needed the help, and they 
came through!

Wesley Schumacher, good job with the wholesome earthy competition.

Thanks, Bexar Grotto for bringing some class and entertaining guests!

TCMA, thanks for starting our day-after-the-apocalypse-morning off with 
caffeine and sustenance on Sunday.

And a thanks to Paul Dixon at Paradise Canyon for being a gracious host and 
sharing his cool waters, green grass and shady canyon.

Hi Mark! We have finally finished the paperwork to get volunteers at

http://ec.volunteernow.com/custom/1353/

 

All volunteers must apply, then select a location, easiest to plug in

It's a very cool website and TPWD has several volunteer opportunities,
besides caving (imagine that!) that you might be interested in.

 

Complete the online application and see what other areas of interest are
out there and might appeal to you.

 

I know I found some!

Well, with TCR in the rear view mirror, and Halloween will soon be
behind us by the time this rolls around, what better way to kick off the
fall than a

Longhorn Caverns Project weekend involving caving, electricity, and
power tools!

The TPWD has graciously followed through and purchased some much needed
equipment for us to make some long overdue trail improvements to a few
areas

Throughout the cave.

Other funds for several other projects in the cave are to follow.

In the meantime, this project will involve scoring ~ 61 feet of concrete
throughout the cave (after we remove some gawd awful Astroturf (c) ) to
improve traction, safety, and overall appearance.

We will have to do this after hours on Saturday night and, if there's
enough interest, I'd like to do this on Friday night, as well.

We have enough equipment for 8 (!) crews to be at work at one time.

As a reward for helping out with this, the park is offering:

*   Free camping Friday and Saturday nights

*   Free use of The Basement for wild cave tours (the Crownover back
entrance is still off limits).

*   A Free Vanishing Texas Bald Eagle Boat Cruise Sunday on
beautiful Lake LBJ to observe bald eagles!

 If you have water jugs with screw on caps, please bring them.

Hope to see the old hands back at the project this month, as well as any
new faces interested in helping out. 

This is a truly fun and enjoyable project and we try hard to keep it
that way and we guarantee a great weekend!

Come out to a spectacular and historic cave and park, friendly park
staff, and the always entertaining camaraderie of cavers!

 

Hope to see you this month!

 

Thanks!

Mark

Hi Mark! We have finally finished the paperwork to get volunteers at
Longhorn!!! Here is the site to go to and apply: 

 

http://ec.volunteernow.com/custom/1353/

 

All volunteers must apply, then select a location, easiest to plug in
Longhorn's zip code, 78611. The new system works faster than the older
paper. Thanks Mark!

It's a very cool website and TPWD has several volunteer opportunities,
besides caving (imagine that!) that you might be interested in.

 

Complete the online application and see what other areas of interest are
out there and might appeal to you.

 

I know I found some!

 

 

Very painless!

 

 

 

Thanks!

We can do a round trip to and from the Crownover from the commercial
entrance can't we?
