I have been reading my cherished copy of Bill's BITE (Biological Investigations 
of Troglobitic Eurycea) report and am ever amazed at the effort and 
thoroughness he put into it.  Even though it is almost 50 years old, it remains 
a reference of singular value and it is the treasure map that will eventually 
lead to the rediscovery of Eurycea robusta.  I just wish Bill could be here 
when we find it.

Since William Russell discovered whirl pool cave not only discovered but dug 
out most of the cave I really think that in honor of Bill the cave should be 
renamed William Russell Cave or something of that nature

Nope, Guys.  He HATED people who renamed known caves for no good reason, with 
"good" meaning "correcting histoircal record on ownership and location".

I remember mapping a particular long crawl in the back of Inner Space which

Maybe the Russell Crawl?

[Texascavers] Bill Russell honors

2019-03-26 Thread Logan

OK everyone thinking of ways to honor Bill, this will help. If you 
haven't already done so, pull out your copy of /50 Years of Texas 
Caving/ and go to the section called "Two Bills" starting on page 346. 
One is William J. "Bill" Helmer (NSS #3231). The other is William H. 
"Bill" Russell (NSS #4357). The sectionbegins:


"The history of Texas caving has been profoundly influenced by two guys 
named Bill. Without either of them almost nothing would be the same."


Pages 349-353 consist of anecdotes, quotations, and photos of the Bill 
we all know & miss. You will learn that "In Indian Creek Cave, there is 
an incredibly long and tortuous crawl named Bill Russell's Long Crawl." 
There is a photo of Bill surveying in William's Maze, Airman's Cave.


Bill's opinion of Underground Exploration as told to Jerry Atkinson 
(excerpt): "While running through a borehole is more exciting than 
digging, it is not anywhere near 2,500 times as exciting. . . . Thus, 
there are several Travis County caves (like Airman's Cave) that are 
among the most exciting caves per foot in the world to explore. *Eat 
your heart out Huautla." *(my emphasis)*

*
Reading this section may give some of you ideas. For example, Bill 
Steele and Bill Stone, with that challenge from Bill Russell, consider 
naming the tightest, nastiest, longest, most tortuous, deepest crawlways 
in the Huautla system after William H. "Bill" Russell. He will love it!

You can count on it. And soon. We leave for Huautla on Sunday. Surely we’ll

[Texascavers] Peyton Abbott

2019-03-26 Thread David

I strongly feel that if someone is going to sum up their life's
accomplishment into
a tiny single paragraph, and mention that they loved caves, or were a
caver, then we should
at least take a second to honor them.

The link below appears to show a Texas caver that passed away two weeks ago.

For those of you who will not read the obituary, it appears he caved in
Travis County
around 1950, plus or minus a year or 2 ( say, 1948 to 1952 ).It looks
like he was
a hydrologist and geologist and worked most of his career in the Pueblo,
Colorado
area.


https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/austin-tx/peyton-abbott-8196551

I can only guess that some of the old-timers knew him, or knew of him.I
could
not find anything grotto related or speleological related in a brief Google
search.

I would bet that he knew all about Austin Caverns, and Cobb Caverns or
anything else
that was popular back in the early 1950s.Since his interest was
hydrology, he probably
poked around in every spring he could find, possibly even Honeycreek Cave.

D.L.

The good news is that other than Bill's recent obituary, I was not able to
find anything
else after an hour of searching the web.
