The third weekend in October is the place I mark in my calendar each year. In
my time, we have only had it on a different weekend once, so the third weekend
seems natural to me.
As far as location goes...Paradise Canyon is nice, but, without water, I would
look for another place. Flat Creek is, of course, always awesome. No one
seems to be jumping on the Guadalupe River RV Park band wagon. I thought that
was a great place. And it had water!

Gill, you should know better. You should never say never.
I always used the third weekend of October. It was easy to find on a
calendar and easy to remember. The only time I changed it was because of a
conflict with PC.

For everybody's benefit: The traditional date for TCR was not the 3rd
weekend in October--and never had been. Disabuse yourselves of that idea. It
was
"the weekend nearest to the 15th of October." Mostly it was the 3rd weekend of
the month but sometimes it claimed the 2nd weekend. There were 2 or 3 times
when
some other conflict (a hurricane, for instance) caused the date to be pushed
forward or backward. The "weekend nearest the 15th" worked out really well
during its tenure.
Just
FYI, the underlying purpose was to not be in conflict, date wise, with the TAG
event in Alabama in order that cavers could attend both events if they wished
but, more importantly, so that Bob & Bob and other vendors could attend both
events, hopefully, so that Texas cavers would have hands-on access to top
quality caving gear. At some point Bob quit going to TAG and came only to TCR
and few, if any, cavers attended both events so the whole point became sorta
moot.
