Re: CaveTex: Gerogetown Caving? LAY-ZEE?
Scott: You're kidding, right? Every county has its own folder of files, organized alphabetically. How hard can it be? After all, there are only 800+ caves and karst features in Williamson Co. Or, are you looking for some wizened old-timer to tell you that he knows exactly what hole in the ground you are talking about? C'mon dude, digging thru the TSS files isn't half as hard as digging. Andy G. P.S. You can always submit a TSS cave report and include whatever info you have on your find. They might be able to help you pinpoint it that way. --- Scott back2scool...@hotmail.com wrote: MessageYeahthats nice if you want to spend the day picking through filling cabinets stuffed with maps and papers.

Re: CaveTex: Gerogetown Caving
Texas Speleological Survey (TSS) has nearly 4000 caves and karst features entered into its digital database. The range of location accuracy ranges from a few meters to a few thousand meters. About a third of the caves do not have any location information. Some of this missing information is contained in the paper files and needs to be entered into the database. There are also probably hundreds of caves in the paper files that need to be entered into the digital database. All of this work happens by cavers around the state volunteering their time to key in data, scan maps, draft maps, and write reports. The new on-line data report form makes it incredibly easy for any caver with Internet access to submit information to TSS, which benefits all cavers. TSS welcomes help from anyone who wants to improve the quality and quantity of the files. TSS makes the data available to support exploration, research, conservation, and education. To request data from the TSS, visit our website and look under the request data tab for details at: www.txspeleologicalsurvey.org George Subject: Re: CaveTex: Gerogetown Caving Resent-Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2005 15:07:37 -0500 Resent-From: cave...@www.cavetex.net Resent-CC: recipient list not shown: ; List-Post: texascavers@texascavers.com Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2005 15:19:52 -0500 From: Scott back2scool...@hotmail.com To: 'Cave Tex Remailer' cave...@cavetex.net Yeahthats nice if you want to spend the day picking through filling cabinets stuffed with maps and papers.
