Re: [Texascavers] Map Salon at TSA Spring Convention, April 25th
Texas Cavers, Hope everyone is getting excited for a TSA Spring Convention full of education, friends, and fun! Please bring printed maps of Texas caves, or drafted by Texas cavers. Texas cavers are those whose primary residence has been Texas at some time during the previous year. Cartographers can enter as many maps as they want. Maps need not be of the entire cave (i.e. detail maps of cave sections are eligible). Caves need not be completely surveyed for a map of the cave to be eligible.

[Texascavers] Honey Creek Cave Shirts & Upcoming Tank Haul
*T-SHIRT* Who is interested in purchasing a Honey Creek Cave Tshirt? Prices could be $10-$15 depending on how many people want a shirt. I want at least 50 paid orders to go to print & we already have 30 requests. Design will be blind salamander on purple shirt with Honey Creek Cave text only(image at link below). Message with serious orders and I will follow up with payment options. Check out the design here: https://plus.google.com/photos/109245084648428128307/albums/6098660069115357601 *TANK HAUL* Honey Creek Cave Tank Haul is next month and we need YOUR HELP to haul dive/cave camp gear on January 24th and January 31st. It's been less than a year since the last major exploration effort in Honey Creek and now the divers are back for more, this time with two extra divers. In 2015, Dr. Jean Krejca, James Brown, Laura Battle and Matt Turner will embark upon their journey to explore the furthest reaches of the cave and we need even more help than ever before! I am looking for firm commitments so please consider helping out and reply with what dates you are able to participate. We can use all types of skill and fitness levels if you are up to the challenge. At no point will you be underwater, diving or cave camping. Honey Creek Cave is the longest cave in Texas at over 20 miles long. The legendary Tank Haul trip includes walking, salamandering, crawling, and "The Mud and The Crud". The trip is challenging but very fun. Some people have done the trip in and out in as few as 4 hours, others take their time and take up to 12 hours. Average pace takes 8-10 hours round trip. GEAR: Honey Creek Cave is a water cave and you will need a wetsuit and harness with d-ring to be lowered on cable down a 145ft man-made shaft. Bring a helmet and small pack for storing personal gear like lights, batteries plenty of water and snacks. I recommend wearing sturdy lace-up shoes, knee pads, elbow pads, and gloves. I also recommend storing supplies in a watertight container like a nalgene bottle. The packs of group gear shouldn't weigh more than 30 pounds. Camping is available both weekends and we will enter the cave around 9am. Come one weekend or both!

Re: [Texascavers] Honey Creek Cave Tank Hauls, Jan 2015
Cavers, The Honey Creek Cave Tank Haul is almost here and I only have 15 people committed for both weekends combined. We need tons more than that. If you are committed to come, I need you to please contact me by email or fb message with the dates you will be there. We need as much help as we can get and I need to know we can count on you to be there. Please contact me asap if you are coming! Spread the word. Hope everyone is getting their gear ready. You will want to have your best shoes, best lights, and best gear for this long haul. WETSUIT...its not too late to shop around for a good deal and everyone going into the cave must wear a wetsuit. You can buy them used from a dive shop, craigslist, or Play it Again Sports. You can buy them new from many places, good deals at Sierra Trading Post. You may also rent a wetsuit from a dive shop but you will want to wear clothes on the outside because if you ruin it, you pay full price. The water temperature is about 68 degrees. I recommend a full body wetsuit if you get cold and a farmer john if you run hot. Please don't hesitate to contact me for more information, Ellie 509-899-0007 Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/events/695975567146293/ On Wed, Sep 24, 2014 at 2:48 PM, Ellie Watson wrote: > Attention Cavers > > The dates are set for the next Honey Creek Cave Tank Haul and we need your > help to haul dive/cave camp gear on January 24th and January 31st.
