Re: [Texascavers] [BexarGrotto] Honey Creek Cave in the news
I did talk to the reporter, but he obviously didn’t get all the quotes right. (do they ever?) And much of his numbers, text, and photos came from his own web searches. And by the way I’m not the chairman of the TSS. All of the caves we discussed were 100% underground. I’ve never surveyed underwater, I leave that work to certified professionals.
