Before the meeting, take advantage of Sao Paulo  www.saopaulos.net  for happy 
hour specials. Attendance by cavers varies but this area is the best place to 
park and meet folks walking over to the meeting.  Then after the USS meeting, 
we continue with the decades long tradition to reconvene for burgers, beer, and 
tall tales of caving at Posse East.  www.posse-east.com

[Texascavers] Fwd: DistoX2s For Sale

[Mark Minton via Texascavers]

Attention surveyors:

  John Harman has been assembling Disto X2 digital survey instruments for
a few months now. These units are fantastic! They are waterproof (IP-65)
and contain a rechargeable lithium-polymer battery that reduces the need
for recalibration. (The first calibration is already done.) They are
also Bluetooth enabled so they can communicate directly with a PDA for
digital in-cave sketching. They are pricey, but so wonderful that I
think they are totally worth it. I've been using one for a couple of
months now and never looked back.

   Below is John's recent post from the NSS Cartography Facebook feed.

Surveyors - we just finished and shipped our most recent batch of DistoX2
units today. We've already received 3 orders for the next batch and will be
starting that build within the next couple weeks. If you'd like one of
these amazing instruments send me a private message on here, or e-mail to
jharm...@gmail.com.

The per unit cost is $615 + shipping. The way the process works is we send
you a purchase order form to fill out, which you return to us. We then
procure all the materials, assemble the unit, test it, and calibrate it.
Once the instrument is fully qualified and calibrated we send you an
invoice for the cost of the instrument plus shipping. You pay the invoice
and we ship the instrument.

We fully warrant the device against manufacturing defects and will repair
broken devices for a standard lab fee.

Please don't hesitate to contact me for more info. - John Harman

Re: [Texascavers] [CBSP-TSA] January Colorado Bend Project Weekend

[Will Quast via Texascavers]

FYI: We do not have access to the Conference Center at CBSP this weekend.
The Conference Center is still under renovation and is in no condition for
any type of use.  Project volunteers will meet and stay at Caver Camp.
The Conference Center has been requested for the 2nd weekend in February
and will be confirmed when Jason returns.  Per Kurt's last email, "The TSA
winter meeting for 2015 will be at Colorado Bend State Park Feb 15th,  at
9am."
