[Texascavers] Lost Oasis Cave Preserve workday announcement

2011-11-28 Thread Jim Kennedy
Cavers, we need your help!  The Texas Cave Management Association (TCMA)
will be having a work day Sunday 18 December to clean up one of our
properties, the Lost Oasis Cave Preserve in Travis County (south
Austin).  We plan to prune limbs, cut weeds, bag trash, and just
generally make the property more attractive.  We need people, saws,
loppers, weed eaters, gloves, and even a chain saw.  Bring your own
drinks and snacks for the work.  TCMA will provide bottled water.  The
cave preserve is across the street from Bailey Middle School, 4020 Lost
Oasis Hollow, in the West Shady Hollow subdivision.  All visitors to the
Preserve will be asked to sign a liability waiver.  Park along the
street, and meet at the chain link fence surrounding the cave at 10:00
am.  We should be finished with the work by noon.  Preserve Manager Ron
Ralph will open the cave gate then if anyone wishes to enter the cave.
Bring your own cave gear.  Ron can be reached at 512-797-3817 (cell) in
case any one gets lost, or if you would like coordinate more details
with him.  I also have a map that I can send if necessary, since CaveTex
doesn't do attachments.  Contact me off list for the map, but no need to
RSVP if you are attending.  Just show up!

Thanks for your support of TCMA and cave management.

There are competing events.  We were hoping extra cavers would come help out
at the Cave Festival in South Austin that day.  Cave Fest is from 9-3 so you
can do both!
