Re: [Texascavers] Spring TSA meeting
Interesting. I went caving with a flashlight and two friends in 1956 as well in the Guadalupe Mts on the highway going to Carlsbad. It was right there above Salt Flats and Dell City. We drove out in a 1948 Mercury and were camping and drinking beer we had bought in Juarez and sneaked over to Texas. We were ostensibly hunting, armed to the teeth when we found this cave which was huge and had water passages. Well up in the mountains.

Re: [Texascavers] Spring TSA meeting
They probably were but without a sanctioning body or organization and caving information was mostly word of mouth between spelunkers ( not cavers). My first non commercial cave was Frio Cave on the Annandale Ranch near Concan in 1953 at 18. It is still an interesting cave.

[Texascavers] Spring TSA meeting
Let us hope that the 2016 TSA Convention can be held in Rocksprings for it would be a significant historic exclamation point. These days, we accept an annual convention of Texas cavers as a routine thing but it was not always so. Texas cavers were plodding along with no such thing until 1956. In that year, cavers of the newly formed Texas Region of the NSS (not yet the Texas Speleological Association) had their first State-wide gathering at Rocksprings, Texas. With a couple of notable exceptions and a few really poor examples, it has been an annual event ever since. A caver convention in Rocksprings in 2016 would be the 60th anniversary of that seminal event. You can learn more about that first convention in 1956 by opening your copy of 50 Years of Texas Caving to page 41. ===Carl Kunath carl.kun...@suddenlink.net -Original Message- From: Jim Kennedy via Texascavers Folks, please belay any previous announcements about the TSA Spring Convention.
