[Texascavers] live rope cam

Did anybody watch the installation this morning of a web cam on the top of the capsule? It is sending live video images up and down from the top of the capsule. It appears to be held on with a magnet and some duct tape. How is this tiny video camera sending live video to the whole world? That

Re: [Texascavers] new TCR photography policy

You don't have to leave your camera at home. Just use a little common sense and have a little RESPECT folks. Give it a try, at least! This is a simple policy with a lot of avenues of interpretation for a reason. Nudity, partial nudity, inebriation, all of these things are more fun without a lot of

[Texascavers] AMCS sales at TCR

As usual, the Association for Mexican Cave Studies will be selling publications at TCR. We should have at least a couple copies of everything in our catalog at amcs-pubs.org (not amcs.org), with lots of copies of newer things. I believe the following are all new since the last TCR AMCS Ac

[Texascavers] Cavers all dressed up, circa 1981

I recently scanned some black and white negatives of a Texas caver wedding back in 1981. You might be surprised at some of the portraits of cavers you know today, "all dressed up" in their 70s-era best for a church ceremony. Here's a public link of the album on my Facebook page: http://www.facebook

[Texascavers] Frank's photos of 1981 wedding

Thanks Frank. Good examples of the black & white world I mentioned in a previous email. The wedding was unusual because it brought together two groups of people who would never have mingled otherwise. Duwain was in the Aggie Cadet Corps, so half of the guests were Aggies, including many cade

[Texascavers] photos at TCR -- recap

Howdy folks, So it seems like the word "policy" has been taken out of context. No one wants a hard and fast rule at TCR, and we shouldn't need to worry about "policing." Think of this as an officially approved request. *Please be considerate with your photography.* That's all. And ask your friends
