My group found some small tectonic caves the first day and were led on
a crazy goose chase the second day to a large shelter cave full of
bees. We mapped out the 2-3 neat little caves we had found, the
largest being about 30m long (which we named Cherry) Some of those

This is news to me.
There is a service called Google Groups.
Here is one grotto's site on this service:

I never liked Yahoo groups; but tolerated it, because at the
time, seemed like the only free choice for grottos to

No wonder there is very little caving traffic on CaveTex, everyone is
off playing on the NSS forums, Wikipedia and now Google Groups...

David, Google purchased a website service called deja back in 2001,
which was an online archive of the usenet emails
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet). Google then renamed it to
google groups and added their flair to it.
I actually archive all of my lists that I control into google groups,
Nah, politics is better.

If I go to Florida, I was hoping to do some swimming
and tubing, most likely at the Ichetucknee River.

Is there a better place near the convention to go tubing?
Is anybody else going to the Ichetucknee to do
David,
Years ago when I lived in Florida, I snorkeled the Ichetucknee River,
which is crystal clear and cool due to the plentiful springs that feed
it. I believe back then you were required to take an inner tube along
with you, but I simply lashed it to me and snorkeled down the river.
David,
I tubed the Ichetucknee back about 1970, and froze my butt*. I'm particularly
sensitive to cold water, so you might be fine, but consider neoprene shorts.
It was quite primitve and beauttiful then, so lets home it still remains so.
Florida has been very active (via its regional water

Nowadays, yes, and maybe in 1970 (see my earlier post) on the Florida coasts.
But when I was tubing back then, I was a student who could barely even afford a
tube (and they still mostly came right out of car tires back then).
