David and all,
Both Station C and Red Arrow caves have been visited in recent years and
have a caver-land owner relationship. You can see photos here:

Red Arrow houses a large bat population near the entrance, so it is not a
good one for the ICS. Station C houses some bats, but they roost further
back in the cave. We will probably have a few trips to Station C during the
ICS.
Seacrest has also been visited in recent years and is in the process of
being surveyed for the land owner. It too houses a large population of bats
and can't be used for the ICS (notice a trend here?).
Unfortunately several of the more sizeable and nice caves house bats, I
REALLY wish the ICS was not mid summer so it would not be sooo difficult
to find good caves that don't have bats.
There are several websites for the Hill Country that have ranches for sale
and often mention caves. A quick check every once in a while has found that
several caves have sold, and some new ones (to cavers at least) have been
found and explored.

Here is a cave near the ICS-NSS event:
http://www.oztotl.com/Images/TSimages/2004/StationC/IMG_9352.JPG
I have been wanting to go to that cave for over 20 years.
Another cave over in Real County, "Red Arrow Cave," is one that I have
wanted to go to.
I seem to recall there were some trips there a few years ago, unless
I am confusing it with another cave.
What is the status of "Secrest Cave?"
Most of the small towns have a newspaper of some kind.Has anybody
ever ran an advertisement such as "Caves Wanted," or "We buy caves!"
Most of us frown upon paying ranchers for access to caves.But what
if that is the
only chance to get a cave trip during the convention?
