Glad to hear there is science behind the circling path. Many classic stories, especially on Guadalupe Ridge.  A Special Spot is on the way back to Hunt Camp from Sentinal-Gunsight.  There are two little low knobs that, especially and night in the fog, that you tend to figure-eight around.

Anything is possible. Most problems can be solved by throwing money at them. However, my latest report is that the water is about the same level it was last year at the park. Unless it gets much, much drier (how could that happen?), we will have plenty of water to play in and cool off in. Al

The sauna and hot tub (if it can even be filled) will be way too hot if we can't cool off in the river.  Also, the river was my morning bath last year. I guess no water slide then. And should I stop shopping for a kayak? On the other hand, the river bed might make an excellent pit for mud wrestlin

RE: [Texascavers] 2009 Texas Cavers Reunion

Yes but will there be water to swim in? If levels get too low all of the flow out of that reservoir will go down that diversion channel and not over the dam. Is there a river authority for the Medina? Will they let it run dry or do they have to keep the river bed wet for the fish and wildlife?
