Hi Thomas: 

Frenc Facija, a caver in Slovenia, operates a speleocamp near Laze with both a 
bunkhouse and campsites for visiting cavers. He is a very active caver with 
many contacts through the caving community.

There are some images of Frenc and his facility on page 7 of 

http://www.focusedtours.com/images/Slovene-Karst%20final%201-30-09.pdf 

(It may take a moment to download the PDF file) 

We are currently in Terlingua, but plan to return home to Denver in early May. 
I think I have an extra copy of Ian Bishop's Cave Guide to Slovenia which I 
purchased from him in 2006. Ian has passed on and the publication is out of 
print. Let me know if you would be interested in obtaining that extra copy.

Here is a simple rule-of-thumb if you're planning to go caving outside of the 
US and are looking for contacts. Go to http://uis.caves.org/. The UIS 
(International Union of Speleology) is made of about 60 member countries, 
including Croatia. Contacts for those countries as well as their national and 
regional organizations are listed.

Subject: [Texascavers] Looking for contacts in Croatia and neighboring countries

Hello Cavers!

I'm planning a trip to the shining Adriatic Sea for June, and was hoping to 
link up with some cavers in the Balkans.  I know a bunch of y'all have done 
expeditions out in that part of the world, and was wondering if you could 
connect me with any cavers in that region?

Best Regards,

~~Thomas
