Re: [Texascavers] Aftermath of the NSS Convention
It is still my goal to rotate the sites, but the BOG has the final say (as you saw this year). The biggest problem with the rotation is finding hosts. I still hope we can have a convention in Flagstaff one day. It was a good site, I just need people the region will accept to be the host group. Seeing different parts of the country, I have not been to before, is one of the pluses to going to convention.

RE: [Texascavers] Aftermath of the NSS Convention - one experience
DD and all, Sounds like all the more reason to have the next one in Oregon. This year it's in the hi 70s to mid 80s. We had rain over the weekend and it's in the 50s at nite. Not every year, mind you, but this year. Of course the first of July, it goes to 90 and higher until the end of fire season (some time in Aug or Sep). Isn't the NSS slogan: Be prepared, but have fun! ? Sounds like an interesting time was had by all.

I don't think any cavers were hurt but there must have been a fair amount of camping equipment damaged. We ended up being both resourceful and a little lucky, and enjoyed two excellent days touring the cave country of Virginia and West Virginia, showing Mary some of the places of one of my miss-spent youths. One of the bigger problems driving around in the powerless areas was that few had credit card capabilities, so if you did not have real cash you were out of luck. I saw that one gas station with a generator was limiting gas to $25 per customer, but it was cash only. I seemed that quite a number did not have the $25 that they could spare.

We've been getting spotty reports and photos through Facebook and from cavers who left early and missed the storm. Just talked to Geoff Hoese. Fortunately, he and Aimee Beveridge left on Thurs in his private plane.
