[Texascavers] Cave ballads on NSS website

The NSS (National Speleological Society)  website has many cave ballads that you can listen to. I couldn't find Jan Conn's version of "Dark as a Dungeon" by song title, and not sure what year it came out, but I've heard it and it's great. Another one she wrote is one of

Thanks Preston for the lyrics. I sing it sometimes to myself but never can remember the words and have to make it up as I go along. I and I love hearing Merle sing the original version. Ron From: PRESTON FORSYTHE via Texascavers Sent: Friday, February 10, 2017 1:31 PM To:

Re: [Texascavers] [TCR Food]

Although I was not one of the original cooks it seems a friend by the name of Charlie got me involved and I cooked the corn for a number of years. As Charlie points out we got old although not as old as some. Cooking is hard work and back then we did it because we liked to cook. The thing is

Re: [Texascavers] [TCR Food]

Cooking is work. And I think that became obvious to our last head cook and there is little in the way of recompense other than a pat on the back. That only works for so long. And like I have said I was head cook for many years and retired. Felicia Vreeland was my second in command and ran a very

Hi guys! I talked to Geary and he said I could contact people to try and set up Something for this weekend at La Chance Sinkhole! This sounds like a wonderful opportunity to find some CAVE :) Is anybody interested in going Sunday? If so, let me know and what times are good for y'all! Really

Re: [Texascavers] [TCR Food]

Don If you can find an organizer I will be happy to help with a main dish or coordinate and produce a side dish I know there are several cavers who have done the same in the past, had a great time, and are eager to do it again For anyone who hasn't and has some aptitude for cooking... step up

Re: [Texascavers] [TCR Food]

Joe and Don,       PBSS at best might have 3 people attend TCR  and more than likely will be just me. I am not cooking for our entire grotto. I suppose I could help another grotto or just bring my own food. I like the idea,  but the PBSS  don't have hundreds of members and even less who

About $2K. I cannot speak to the number of volunteers as I'm not involved with cooking. --Don > On Feb 10, 2017, at 2:46 PM, Crystal Datri via Texascavers > wrote: > > What's a typical food budget? How many cooking volunteers are there in a > typical year? >

Re: [Texascavers] [TCR Food]

Repost of my comments for those among us not on BookFace. A) Fending for ourselves disrupts the communal nature of the Saturday evening meal. If we end up going this route it would be important to continue with Saturday evening activities that encourage everyone to come together. B) Catering

Re: [Texascavers] [TCR Food]

Thanks for forcing my hand, Don. I was going to write some suggestions/words later, but I’ll start now: Firstly I’ll say I’m going to ignore a lot of the stuff Charles wrote; best leave those electrons to die out there on the interwebs. c) Cooking for 350 people is a lot of work, but not as

[Texascavers] [TCR Food]

Currently TCR doesn't have a head cook, or menu. There have been complaints, rumors and talk about this subject. It seems there are three options: (a) fend for yourselves, (b) caterer, (c) volunteers come forward to cook. Each has its benefit and drawbacks. I need to get a feel for options.

Re: [Texascavers] 39th Annual Texas Cavers Reunion

Paradise Canyon for me has some ill feelings since one of my best life long friends died in an accident there. Not the canyon's fault, too much beer most likely and not paying attention. But that memory is still ingrained. I don't really mind the place but I do like Brackettville it is only 40

Re: [Texascavers] 39th Annual Texas Cavers Reunion

Herr Charles and others, Achtung! Paradise Canyon is a great venue, especially for an old fart and his precious June who both appreciate the convenience of a private cabin. However I do miss the after dark camaraderie of sitting around your and others camp fires before hitting the cot. My
