[Texascavers] OT - 4x4 information

2007-09-13 Thread David Locklear
I saw a 4x4 magazine on the newsrack today that I had never seen before. It was called "4x4 Garage." Apparently, it has been around for about 5 years, but I just never noticed it. The current issue has some interesting information comparing old transmissions. There was an article showing how to

Yes, let's please keep the listserve focused on its intended purpose. Lots of us consider unsubscribing when we get off-topic rants, of any persuasion. Yours for good cave and caver-related communication, Frank Binney NSS 10816F On 9/13/07 4:48 PM, "vivb...@att.net" wrote: > I've learned to tol

I've learned to tolerate, and even enjoy the off topic discussions of vehicles on this listserve. LED household bulbs, google maps, and truck tents are similarly interesting, if not directly cave related. But I have to draw the line at blatant political rhetoric. This is not what this list is

Louise, I have one of a different brand and many have seen me use it in the last 6 years at TCR and conventions... I like it... Nice when there are fire ants and ground crawly nasties... Some thought I did not even own a ground tent, but I have 3 or 4 of them in addition to the truck tent. ht

The geologist who claimed his study shows there is plenty of water in that well probably did a pump test. That is a standard test but often misleading in karst. In this case, there is a good chance, based on what I know of the area, that the well hit a relatively large conduit that stores a lot of

Hey folks, Here's a link to a recent newspaper article on groundwater problems in Blanco Co. The journalist made a few leaps here and there (for example, I never said the salamander population in question is a subspecies) but he got the gist of it. http://sacurrent.com/news/story.asp?id=67408
