[Texascavers] TCR meals

[Mixon Bill via Texascavers]

I was struck by one sentence in a recent posting: "I always think three meats 
and as many salad and veggies." In my view, that is a mistake, one often made 
by caterers at NSS conventions, too. It slows down the line. Having waited for 
a long time in line, people are understandably interested in sampling a little 
of everything, which of course makes the line move more slowly--a vicious 
circle. The only advantage I can see in multiple, redundant dishes at TCR is 
that each cook might have to prepare a smaller quantity of his dish. But it is 
important when there is a line to encourage people to grab some food quickly 
and get the hell out of the way. 

I admit I'm not a foodie and wouldn't be interested under any circumstances in 
some of the dishes some proud cook might have come up with--calamari, yuck. I 
usually pick three things from the line and a desert.

I think the caver-catered supper Saturday at TCR is a great tradition. Looks to 
me like enough helpers appear out of the woods, but I don't envy the person 
responsible for coordinating it. Many thanks to Steph; hadn't realized how long 
he'd been doing it--and of course to Charlie and the gang before that.

[Texascavers] Impromptu Trip to LaChance Sinkholes, Sunday @ 10am

[Bennett Lee via Texascavers]

This Sunday, Feb. 12, at 10am, we have an impromptu trip to the LaChance 
Sinkholes near Gruene, Texas.

Last trip there, Bennett completed a through trip connecting two of the major 
sinkhole areas.  Since then, the LaChance family has been digging on another 
sink and it opened up into a room.

For you Austin folks, the LaChance Sinkholes were the recent topic of Bennett's 
witty and entertaining presentation at the UT Grotto a few weeks ago.  Here's 
your opportunity to be a part of it yourself!  It's just a quick drive from 
Austin, especially for all you south Austin cavers.

Don't let Bennett be the only one scooping booty there with all his solo 
through trips!  Get to the LaChance Sinkholes tomorrow and find that virgin 
passage yourself!

When:
10am-4pm
Sunday, Feb 12, 2017

What to Bring:
Buckets
Shovels and hoe-vels
Coffee cans (yes, before Starbucks, coffee used to come in metal cans which 
makes excellent scoops)
Sledgehammers
Pry bars

Where:
North of Gruene, Texas
Contact Bennett Lee (210-393-3806 or 
benn...@bennettlee.com) or Geary Schindel 
(210-326-1576 or 
gschin...@edwardsaquifer.org) for specific 
directions
