Re: [Texascavers] Michel Siffre and Midnight Cave

I am surprised to find this video I don't remember seeing before of Michel emerging from Midnight Cave Sept 5, 1972! If someone reading this took the video, please speak up.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fxshED97Zw Pete Strickland and I and several other Texas

Re: [Texascavers] Caverns of Sonora

As Carl and I have discussed at length, Mayfield Cave (Sonora) was still quite wild and had been only recently explored when friend Jimmy Walker and I along with Bob Hudson and Bob’s brother-in-law spent two days going quite deep into it after crossing the ledge. This was between December and

That would be the “Diamond Horseshoe.” See page 406 in 50 Years of Texas Caving (the encyclopedia of Texas caving). You should have a copy in your library. ===Carl Kunath carl.kun...@suddenlink.net From:

[Texascavers] Caverns of Sonora

There are 3 or 4 cavers on this forum who have actually gone caving in Caverns of Sonora - especially if you call "hauling out rocks," as caving. I once was shown a rare picture of some unusual speleothem off-trail in Sonora. There were similar, but different pictures in the books about Texas

Re: [Texascavers] Terry Cavanaugh and the Alpine Express

Terry Cavanaugh certainly hit a few high spots during his brief caving career. There is a short summary and a few pictures of the Siffre adventure at Midnight Cave in 50 Years of Texas Caving, (the encyclopedia of Texas caving), pages 459-467. ===Carl Kunath carl.kun...@suddenlink.net From:

I'll be deleting this forum but not until after I've had my final say. 1. I have rarely read cave related information on this forum. 2. I'm the only one I have seen be attacked for responding to a post with perfectly viable information and no attitude. 3. Once again I get accused of picking a

[Texascavers] Terry Cavanaugh and the Alpine Express

Yesterday Bexar Grotto members helped man a TSS booth and a Bexar Grotto booth at the Cascade Caverns Cave Fest. The turnout was not huge but it was fun talking to people about caves throughout the day. The band that played at the event was Terry Cavanaugh and the Alpine Express. German polka not

https://goo.gl/maps/h47hh8E8jXR2 Thanks Bill, that is probably it.Except I do not know how far the capsule landed from the official landing pad, nor in what direction. Surely not more than 20 miles, as it goes almost straight up and straight down until the final parachute on the capsule

[Texascavers] Caves near Van Horn ?

In this morning's landing video of the Blue Origin capsule, there is a large rock shelter in the video to the left of the capsule in the face of the cliff about 30 seconds before it lands. Is that a cave ? Does the feature have a name ? Surely it is mentioned in the Caves of Culberson County.

Re: [Texascavers] Cavers in the News

He might have gone to a grotto meeting near you at one time. Bill is a member of the DFW Grotto and a former member of the now-defunct Maverick Grotto in Ft. Worth where I had met him back in about 2002(?). You may have also seen him at one of the TSA Spring Conventions or an NSS convention.
