Great trip report, David, even if you didn’t get to the cave! You got to spend some quality time with your kid and, as fast as they grow up, that is PRICELESS! Any time you can spend with your kid is worthwhile. There’s more important things in life than caving. (Gasp! Did I just say that?

Yes, unfortunately, my old friend and caving buddy, Preston McMichael has been dead for a number of years. What ever happened to the Preston McMichael Caving Award? It was resurrected a few years ago but I haven't heard of it in recent years. Preston was quite a guy and the most gung-ho caver I

[Texascavers] New laws in Texas

2014-09-02 Thread David via Texascavers
We got some new laws as of yesterday. Hit and Run accidents can have double the penalty. Knives like switchblades are legal, so you got to watch out for robbers pulling those on you. School zones and driving while gadgeting is now illegal everywhere. Feel free to correct me, or add to it.
