[Texascavers] Gorman Falls at Colorado Bend State Park

Since it only happens very occasionally, we figured we hike down to Gorman Falls yesterday morning (1/2/18) while it was snowing, and check out the frozen state of the waterfall. I know lots of y'all have attended the TSA's Colorado Bend State Park survey project, so you have a special spot in

Re: [Texascavers] Cave Assistance number for Bexar 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The outdated-ness of this list was addressed at the meeting at TCR.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

Nichols Outdoor Adventures doesn't offer a rappelling tour, since our insurance doesn't cover ropes. Also, it was our understanding that they were doing a one time trip with the previous superintendent. We had no clue that they were making this a recurring event, and it will be interesting to

Wow Jerry. Thanks for being yet another hateful caver "family member" who has nothing nice to say, yet can't keep their mouth shut, who never offers positive criticism or maybe an offer to help those who need assistance with something they are new at doing. Sorry that so many people worked

Some people actually have allergies to the smoke and/or asthma that can be agitated by it. Not a good recipe to smoke in a cave when your caving buddy could have serious health problems because of it. -Heather On Dec 23, 2014, at 1:20 PM, Bill Bentley via Texascavers
