Re: [Texascavers] Colorado Bend State Park TSA Project weekend! (Mar 11-13)

[Will Quast via Texascavers]

The road to Caver Camp is closed because of the wet conditions.
We will be camping and meeting at the Park Conference Center.
We will not be going into the Conference Center, just camping on the lawn.

The water at Cherokee Creek near Bend is still over the road, so do not
attempt to cross until the water goes down.
