Here is your chance to get your 15 minutes of speleo-fame. Use the idea in the link below to create a new type of conversation piece at a caving convention. http://cssf.usc.edu/History/2014/Projects/J0222.pdf Set up this type of trampoline at a caver event and let everybody jump on it.

Joe, Thanks for the clarification. When I called the number a few minutes ago, all I got was an answering machine which didn’t identify the who’s number it was and I didn’t recognize it. When I called the other number, I got someone who did answer but wasn’t a caver. The listing of county

The outdated-ness of this list was addressed at the meeting at TCR. I'm talking with a local caver/firefighter about being the safety chair, and updating that list. I do know that John Kreidler does not want to be a contact anymore, and that DJ Walker is indeed still the South Central Regional

  We actually did that back in the ‘90s. Every grotto had a correspondent that wrote summaries of trip reports given at their meetings and then sent them to the Texas Caver editor. Each TC issue had a section on Grotto Reports or some such, with a paragraph or two from each grotto that sent in

Another stupid idea of mine. I don't have a clue as to how many grottos there are or caver clubs. Each one should elect a scribe and send the e-mail reports to a central place. Editor in chief. You can send photos too. This is a picture of Crash Kennedy being eaten by Godzilla at Dimbulb Cave in

I suggest we draft David Lockleer. He is a good writer no matter what you think of his wild and wooly posts. When I was editor of the UTG Newsletter we had tons of cave trips that were two paragraphs. March 3, 1969 John Fish, Charlie Loving, Susie Holstrom, Marsha Meredith, Ed Alexander and
