Greetings from Clark and Susie Giles in wonderful Central Texas. San Saba County to be exact. Home to both caves and bats so I am hoping this one post will be deemed caving related. I have had a hard disk crash and lost many of my contacts information. The problem is this green thing.

Hi all! The latest issue of Enchantment, a magazine for Rural Electric Coop users in New Mexico features an article on Fort Stanton and Snowy River by Karen Boehler. Though it has a few mistakes (friatic passages instead of phreatic, etc.), it's not too bad. It can be viewed at:
