6 I think Vermont will be a nice vacation though I really don't see myself doing much caving there. The Czech Republic would be nice to get back to, I've only gone there for air shows though unfortunately I'd prefer to spend 5K on more caving / diving gear. 10 My good friend Steve Deveny proofed the survey course to i wanna say 2cm and is a professional surveyor. I don't really have any input there just wanted to throw kudos where I could. 12 I know there were separate individual talks concerning the "big" caves of the world throughout the week though I would have much preferred one "big" session just covering the exploration of these select few caves. Secondly I like to state that the exploration talks should be held later in the day so that those whom are still young and in there prime ie explore are up in time to hear the talks. Though it might just be me in not being able to handle campground activities and being able to turn right around and function so early in the morning ;).

Steve'smargin of error was actually .02 inches. Way less than 2 cm. He brought his own equipment from Nevada, and spenta lot of time on it. It is greatly appreciated. I'll be doing awrite up on the results. It's not often we get a chance to compare severalsurvey team's (seven to be exact) data to a well defined "correct" survey like this. -Vivian 10 My good friend Steve Deveny proofed the survey course to i wanna say 2cm and is a professional surveyor.

I did not forsake pay, but as vacation time is more precious to me than money (I'd take time off without pay if I could), I'd say donating 1/3 of my annual vacation time to ICS was no small deal to me.

Re: [Texascavers] ICS Related
The same for me Denise, but I took off 7 days out of my 10 that I get a year (2 weeks = 10 working days) of vacation, so it was a big sacrifice for me as well. It was a paid vacation, but I get so little of it...

RE: [Texascavers] ICS Related
Vacation is more precious than money TRUE for many, I think. It is hard to get enough vacation, even if you are willing to do w/o pay. I am very fortunate to finally be self employed so that I make more of those decisions. Many places will not let one take time off without pay.

Re: [Texascavers] ICS Related
Charles - do you have an option to take "leave" (unpaid time off) rather than "vacation"? If not - would you have made that choice instead? -DC On Sat, Aug 1, 2009 at 11:07 AM, Charles Goldsmith wrote: > The same for me Denise, but I took off 7 days out of my 10 that I get > a year (2 weeks = 10 working days) of vacation, so it was a big > sacrifice for me as well.

Vacation is more precious than money Many places will not let one take time off without pay. Maybe the question is - whose life is this anyway and what am I willing to trade for it? Nnacy

Yes I do, and I did consider it, but I decided not to, I didn't want to dig into my savings for this trip, I spent enough as it was, dang vendors :) Charles On Sun, Aug 2, 2009 at 4:07 AM, Don Cooper wrote: > Charles - do you have an option to take "leave" (unpaid time off) rather > than "vacation"? > If not - would you have made that choice instead? > > -DC > > On Sat, Aug 1, 2009 at 11:07 AM, Charles Goldsmith > wrote: >> >> The same for me Denise, but I took off 7 days out of my 10 that I get >> a year (2 weeks = 10 working days) of vacation, so it was a big >> sacrifice for me as well.

I'd be happy to work (as time permits) on a set of text and photo pages for the TSA website if folks who were there would provide the photos and text. Butch Fralia TSA Webmaster -Original Message- From: David [mailto:dlocklea...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, August 03, 2009 11:49 PM To: texascavers@texascavers.com Subject: [Texascavers] ICS related So far, the most informative review I have seen of ICS comes from flipping thru Frank Binney's Facebook photos. http://www.facebook.com/frank.binney?hiq=frank,binney&ref=search Frank apparently had a lot of fun re-visiting old caving friends. I think someone needs to put out a web-page with a thorough recap of ICS with a selection of Frank's photos, and Scott Fee's http://www.flickr.com/photos/caverscott/sets/72157621652240404/ And the best of everybody else's photos too, like Ernie Garza's etc. This would be a good project for a dozen people that wanted to volunteer for ICS, but couldn't. It would be too costly to publish something, as it would be over 100 pages, if not 200.
