Re: [Texascavers] New Restoration projects at Carlsbad Caverns starting soon

Kren Perry Worked with Ron Bridgeman on a project there a decade ago or more. Mapped lake of the clouds and Spider Cave and went to Lechguilla. It was a real blast and felt like we were accomplishing things worthwhile. Liked the folks and the cavers on those trips. On Fri, Aug 26, 2016 at 8:20

Re: [Texascavers] animal tracks in caves

Must've been a dream. I was one of the principal explorers of Diamante, and I've never heard of this before. For one thing, there are essentially no stream passages in Diamante, and no mud islands that I'm aware of. Mark Minton mmin...@caver.net On Fri, August 26, 2016 1:41 pm, David via

[Texascavers] animal tracks in caves

I recall a story from them early 1980's of cavers finding footprints of a creature on a mud island in a stream passage that looked like the creature was 3 feet tall and walked upright based on the size and gate of the tracks. I believe the cave was Cueva del Diamante in the El Abra just north of

Huesta Cave in Rancho Diana area, outside of San Antonio, was filled with signs from 'em. So much so that it was temporarily named "Lost Porcupine". - Leslie From: Don Arburn via Texascavers To: texascavers@texascavers.com Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2016

Well, P condones it. The endangered trees are pretty nice and I protect them as best I can. There are a plethora of Porcupines and the dogs really love them. Well, the vet loves them, since they really screw up dogs. Calley spent the better part of a day having the spines removed. And there is a

Re: [Texascavers] Research finds porcupines are prominent in many south-central Texas caves :

Porcupines: There are quite a few out here in Real/Edwards/Uvalde Co. They are a pest in that they ring the endangered Pinon Pine trees and kill them. The porcupines and the bark beetles are really hurting the ecology. They appear as road kill frequently and for the most part are shot on site out

Re: [Texascavers] Research finds porcupines are prominent in many south-central Texas caves :

Thanks, Jerry, interesting article. Since porcupines are primarily tree critters, I wonder if the overgrazing and control of fire that turned my part of Texas from savannah grasslands (very few live oaks, minimal mesquite, junipers confined to the draws) into the late 1800s to what it is today

Re: [Texascavers] Research finds porcupines are prominent in many south-central Texas caves :

Very interesting study, thanks Jerry.  Cavers spend a lot of time in the wild and encounter lots of wildlife--both fauna and flora. For the interested, I highly recommend the book Texas Natural History: A Century of Change, by David J. Schmidly, Texas Tech
