She has worked toward the re-survey of a great cave with a 24.8 meter dome room and will share some great photos as well as the aspects of a local project that was close enough to include weeknight trips. Bryce Smith will start the program with a short talk - Gypsum Caves in the Panhandle Bryce is a relatively new caver who participated in Jim Kennedy's trip to panhandle to seek out and survey gypsum caves. Come out for the fun and fellowship in Austin Texas and check out the adventures of these young cavers. For information on Underground Texas Grotto activities, please see www.utgrotto.org Officer contact, trip reports, event calendar, and new caver training links to beginner trips or vertical rope training are available. Before the meeting, take advantage of Sao Paulo www.saopaulos.net for happy hour specials. This area is the best place to park and meet folks walking over to the meeting. Then after the official meeting, we continue with the decades long tradition to reconvene for burgers, beer, and tall tales of caving at Posse East. www.posse-east.com The UT Grotto Program calendar is wide open and needs you, the caver with photos and a story to share about your adventures, scientific research, or something else really cool. Contact me.
