Hey Diggers:
There is a chance of rain on Sunday. If it is too muddy it is best we
postpone the dig, but give me a call at (512)847-0183 for an update.
Or come on by and we will have slides to show.

For those of you who swam Sundays at Pete's, you will probably miss
them. For those of you who didn't swim, you have missed a good thing.
Now that they have ended, why not join us in the next best thing to do:
the Sunday Kiwi Sink digs. We are almost half way to China, help us
break on through!
Anyone out there in caver-land want to dig in Kiwi Sink starting about
noon on Sunday? Come by or call and ask for directions. 512-847-0183
Dig in,

Cave photogs: I know someone who has 25 Sylvania FF33 (PF330)flash bulbs
for sale. These are screw base bulbs with a duration of 1.75 seconds at
an average intensity of 60,00 lumens--enough to light up the largest
cave passage. Not cheap, he wants around $20 each. If interested, please

As if there wasn't enough going on, this Thursday, Oct 15, the March
Forth Marching Band will play at Antone's in Austin. They put on quite a
show and don't sound anything like your old high school band. Late show,
starts at 11PM, should be of interest to cavers.

I have been organizing the box photos, including the ones being sent in.
Will put them on Picassa or Flicker, both sites that require you to

If you took Box photos of anyone, please send them to me so I can

The decision to take the box to ICS was a good one. Many folks used it
to make their own pictures, I shot a bunch more. Thanks to all who
posed. The highlight was doing a photo of Jeanne Gurnee in the box. Also

The photo box will be at ICS. It will be unattended, but will have
instructions on how to take the best photos, tripod provided. Anyone can
take photos of someone else, and later, if I get enough photos sent to
me, I will collect and send them out via a photo program like Picasa.

Howdy all:
It was a fine gathering. Thanks to all, including those who provided

Thanks for your rewarding explanation about the Rio not so Grand.
It is a fine aid in our understanding about our own river. Your

Fellow cavers,
I have just had a chance to view the CD that Bill Mixon compiled of
the AMCS newsletters, volumes 1-5, 1965 to 1977. The first issue, a
mimeographed copy is difficult to read, although one will be rewarded by
a sense of discovery that the early cavers were making. Later issues
