Date and Time: Saturday, May 5, 2012 9a.m. to 1pm Register at: http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/water/wildland/onlineregistration/EcoWebEvents.cfm Logistics: Participants will meet at the Little Bear gate between Buda and Driftwood and then drive to the work location on the property.

Age and Physical Limits: Participants must be physically able to dig, move large amounts of material, and/or work in tight spaces underground. Participants must be at least 18 years of age. Activity Goal: To remove debris and large rocks from depressions and openings to determine the presence or absence of karst features. Activity Background: The Water Quality Protection Lands are located in the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone. These properties contain many karst features, some as yet undiscovered. The City of Austin is working to explore features of unknown depth to determine their ability to return water to the aquifer. Activity Details: Volunteers will meet at the front gate for a brief orientation at which they will be required to sign liability release forms. They will then drive from gate to the site. Volunteers will use shovels, rock bars, and buckets to move material. City staff will provide all tools, and have water and Gatorade coolers on site. Participants will want to bring bottles or canteens that they can refill from these coolers. Clothing Required: Participants must wear closed toed shoes or boots for hiking on rugged terrain, ankle support is vital. Long-sleeved shirts, lightweight in warm weather, are recommended but not required for sun protection and from potential scratches when walking near vines and uncut trees. Participants Need to Bring: water bottle that will last them through the morning. We also ask that volunteers bring their personal cave gear if they have it. Essential Project Needs and Safety Considerations: Activity will occur in cloudy or drizzly conditions, but will be cancelled in the event of heavy rain, or lightning. Bathroom facilities are unavailable on site. Those with allergies to bee stings or fire ants should be prepared as necessary. Nearest medical facility is approximately 25 minutes away.

[Texascavers] UT Grotto Meeting - Web Feb 1
Howdy Caver, You are invited to the UT Grotto Meeting in Room 2.48 Painter Hall - Wed Feb 1, 2012 7:45 - 9:00 PM Come out for Elections where you can contribute to something really cool and help to make a difference. Every position is open where majority vote can elevate you to officer status. As always, it is guaranteed fun and fellowship with Austin Texas Cavers. Bill Stone will present the Program for the evening as: Recent Explorations in Hellhole Cave, West Virginia Hellhole Cave and Schoolhouse Cave, located in Germany Valley, Pendleton County, West Virginia are historic east coast U.S. vertical caves that have lore dating back to the earliest days of the National Speleological Society, to a time when vertical caving techniques consisted of body rappeling and climbing out via cable ladder. They are described vividly in early books on caving, notably in Halliday's "Depths of the Earth". Schoolhouse was made into the substance of legend in Tom Culverwell's famous carbon sketches (still available at Amazon ! ) which depict bold explorers in Jules Vernian settings. Despite all the early attention both caves remained relatively short, but highly technical. Hellhole had a 55m spectacular freefall entrance drop and led to approximately 2 kilometers of very large, bat-harboring tunnels. Perseverance Dome -- potentially in excess of 120m high, has been discovered at the southern exploration limit. Vickie Siegel and Bill Stone have participated in many camps in Hellhole and have just returned from a 4 day Christmas climbing push to Perseverance Dome. The talk will provide a general history of Hellhole exploration with a focus on the climbing of the highestdomes in the system. Before the meeting, take advantage of Sao Paulo www.saopaulos.net for happy hour specials. This area is the best place to park and meet folks walking over to the meeting.

We are not the sole source for every caving activity out there. There are other forums where caving information are listed where you obviously have the time to review daily, yet refuse to post or request its posting. If you are unhappy and unwilling to contribute in a positive manner, that is just too bad. The rest of you, come check out how kick ass and fun the UT Grotto meetings are.

[Texascavers] UT Grotto Meeting - WED Jan 4, 2012
Howdy Caver, You are cordially invited to attend the Underground Texas Grotto meeting on Wednesday January 04, 2012 from 7:45 PM - 9:00 PM University of Texas Campus in 2.48 Painter Hall (156 West 24th Street, Austin TX 78712) http://www.utexas.edu/maps/main/buildings/pai.html Ben Schwartz will be presenting the Program for the evening – Tongzi 2010: Big Caves, Big Air, Big Water, Where Almost Everything Seems to be Big in China. Exploration in Tongzi began in 2007 followed with annual expeditions. The 2010 expedition included the connection of three caves, dropping a 244m pit into one of the largest chambers in the world, pushing upstream in a giant river trunk, flying a kite in a cave, and finding more leads than we knew what to do with. Did I mention the howling air and sporting water? Come get blown away and check out the great program. As always, it is guaranteed fun and fellowship with Austin Texas Cavers. For information on Underground Texas Grotto activities, please see www.utgrotto.org Officer contact, trip reports, event calendar, and new caver training links to beginner trips or vertical rope training are available.
