[Texascavers] Ezells Maintenance Day

[Ron Ralph via Texascavers]

Cavers,

As if there was not enough caving going on this Saturday, I would like to 
remind folks we will be lopping and chopping at Ezells Cave Preserve starting 
at 9:00 in the morning.  If you can attend, bring tools (shovel, machete, 
wheelbarrow, etc.) for a fun day in the sun.

Also, please let me know if you will or think you will attend so I may have 
sufficient drink and food available (coffee and donuts).  There is always lunch 
for volunteers.

Let me know if you have questions or need directions to the San Marcos cave.

[Jim Kennedy via Texascavers]

Folks, please belay any previous announcements about the TSA Spring Convention. 
They are premature. We do not yet have confirmation on the dates or the site 
yet. But if all goes as planned, it will be the dates and site mentioned. 
Believe me, after the first of the year you will be inundated with my big media 
blitz promoting said event.

[Texascavers] Chronicles of the Old Reading Grotto

[Mixon Bill via Texascavers]

Charles "Squire" Lewis kept a log of his travels the summer of the 1966 NSS 
convention in California. Three people from the Reading, Pennsylvania, Grotto 
(say Redding) made a prolonged road trip that included the convention, caving 
in Xilitla area and touristing in Mexico. Along the way they made two visits to 
Austin, as well as visiting Hunstville, Alabama. Three months and three days, 
16,822 miles. Highly amusing tales of two cave bums and the general caving 
scene in the good old days.

It was published as a book, with many cartoons by Texas caver Charlie Loving, 
in 1993 as the "Chronicles of the Old Reading Grotto." I have put a PDF file of 
the book on the AMCS web site at http://www.mexicancaves.org/other/squire.pdf. 
Check it out. Both the AMCS and the TSA still have paper copies for sale (AMCS, 
$8, see http://www.mexicancaves.org/other/otherpubs.html). I can take copies to 
UT Grotto meeting, or they'll be at TSA and TCR. -- Mixon

Lead me not into temptation. I can find the way myself.

[Texascavers] Spring TSA meeting

[Carl Kunath via Texascavers]

Let us hope that the 2016 TSA Convention can be held in Rocksprings for it 
would be a significant historic exclamation point.

These days, we accept an annual convention of Texas cavers as a routine thing 
but it was not always so.  Texas cavers were plodding along 
with no such thing until 1956.  In that year, cavers of the newly formed Texas 
Region of the NSS (not yet the Texas Speleological Association) 
had their first State-wide gathering at Rocksprings, Texas.  With a couple of 
notable exceptions and a few really poor examples, it has been
an annual event ever since.  A caver convention in Rocksprings in 2016 would be 
the 60th anniversary of that seminal event.

You can learn more about that first convention in 1956 by opening your copy of 
50 Years of Texas Caving to page 41.
