[Texascavers] TCC CAVE DAY Saturday September 15th

2012-08-16 Thread Mike Walsh
Two times a year the Texas Cave Conservancy hosts an open house for the
public to learn about caves, cave life and the aquifer as related to caves.
They are held each year in April and in September on the Saturday closest to
the 15th of the month.  This year, the TCC CAVE DAY will be on Saturday
-September 15, 2012.  We have had over two thousand visitors at a CAVE Day.
We always need cavers to assist in this public education effort.  We never
have had enough staff to present our best information.  Each year, we have a
number of cavers come out to the TCC Headquarters, stay in the campground
and go caving here in the Cedar Park, Texas area.  We never have enough
caver support for CAVE DAY.  We may have to hire non-cavers to assist us in
this event in the future. Please let us know if you can assist.  You will be
welcome to stay at the campground and we will even buy food and beer that
evening.  To the cavers that have come out and assisted, we send our thanks.
To those cavers that have assisted in the past and have been burned out by
too few workers, we say Thank you-Thank you for being there when we really
needed you.  We will need workers to take visitors into both Avery Ranch
Cave and the Dies Ranch Treasure Cave.  Last April, we had over 2000
visitors inside the two caves.  This time, we have been forced to conduct No
publicity efforts except for our web site.  That may reduce the number of
visitors and make it easier for our staff.  For additional information on
CAVE DAY, check out our great web site at Texascavers.org/   Since we put
ithe web site online in April 2010, we have had over 653,000 hits.  Once
again, to everyone that has helped make the Texas Cave Conservancy a great
organization.  Thank you.

Two times a year the Texas Cave Conservancy hosts a public education event know 
as CAVE DAY.  Please contact us if you are available to assist, thank you.  


CAVE DAY Saturday April 12, 2008
Cedar Park is home to some pretty unusual characters, but one of the 
most reclusive may be Ricky Rhadine.  That name doesn't ring a bell? Well, 
perhaps that's because Ricky is a bug, a cave beetle to be exact. In fact, 
Cedar Park is the only place you can find this rare cave beetle that was 
nicknamed Ricky by local cavers.  It also goes by the scientific name, the 
Rhadine persephone beetle.
CAVE DAY is sponsored by the City of Cedar Park Parks & Recreation Department 
and hosted by the Texas Cave Conservancy.  The event is from 10:00 A.M. –4:00 
P.M.  There is no charge.
On Saturday, April 12, 2008 the TCC will offer cave related activities 
at four sites. All information is available at Kay Redden Park.  Come by and 
choose what site or sites you want to visit.
One tour starts at Kay Redden Park and visits seven caves in the Buttercup Cave 
Preserve. There is no cave entry on this tour.  Cave expert Bill Larson will 
talk about the discovery and history of each cave. Tours will be offered at 
11:00 A.M. & 2:00 P.M. You may also come on out and check out the preserve on 
your own. Educational signs have been installed at each cave.
The second site will be at the Twin Creeks Historical Area. This new 
park has a historical log cabin, beautiful springs, tall trees, running water 
year round and even an Indian Shelter Cave available for visitation.  Allow a 
fifteen -minute drive to the site.   It is available all day.
The third site will be the Texas Cave Conservancy owned Educational Show Cave.  
Pick up a cave entry pass at Kay Redden Park. Allow a fifteen -minute drive to 
the cave.
 The fourth site will be a special tour of the new City of Cedar Park- 
Discovery Well Cave Preserve.  The tour will start at 3:00 P.M.  Allow fifteen 
- minutes to drive from Kay Redden Park to the Discovery Well Preserve parking 
area.

Kay Redden Park is located at the intersection of Lakeline Boulevard and 
Buttercup Creek Boulevard, Cedar Park, Texas.
