[Texascavers] HC Road work canceled

I've been working with the owner since early last week about our road work trip and all was well until she checked with the hunters (today). Bow season stated last weekend, and they're already into their hunt. The last thing they need or want is a bunch of heavy equipment running around there

[Texascavers] Honey Creek Project

For those of you who haven't heard all trips at Honey Creek Cave are on hold until we can repair the ranch roads that were damaged this past January. The tank haul trips earlier this year had about 100 cavers in attendance two weekends in a row to get the dive gear for a 4 person dive team into

[Texascavers] TSA officer nominations open

Re: [Texascavers] Drone flying and caves

Charles, Bring it to TCR this year. There is a cavy looking lead high up in the cliff that the owner has seen coyotes coming and going. He wants us to check it out. We could do the drone first, then try to reach it from above. Kurt -Original Message- From: Texascavers [mailto:texasc

[Texascavers] Honey Creek photo album

I'm putting together a coffee table type photo album about the past 35 years of exploration of Honey Creek Cave to present as a gift to the owner of the cave. I know there are much better photographers than me out there with some exceptional photos of Honey Creek. If you'd be willing to contrib

[Texascavers] Honeycreek

Does anyone have a refrigerator they can bring to Honeycreek for the two tank haul weekends. It needs to be least the 3' high dorm fridge or a larger one. Space is not a major issue, but it will sit outside for the two weekends. Kurt ___ Texascavers

Re: [Texascavers] TCR 2015 Survey

My wife and I just spent a few days in the lodge at Paradise Canyon. We keep in regular contact with the owners, and even help them out from time to time when they need someone to run the place for a day or two. So we know there is actually a spring fed pool in the riverbed that is about 200' x

Re: [Texascavers] [BexarGrotto] Honey Creek Cave in the news

I did talk to the reporter, but he obviously didn’t get all the quotes right. (do they ever?) And much of his numbers, text, and photos came from his own web searches. And by the way I’m not the chairman of the TSS. All of the caves we discussed were 100% underground. I’ve never surveyed und

Re: [Texascavers] The Texas Caver

I appreciate all the comments regarding the TSA, and the Texas Caver publication. I believe both are important part of Texas caving. Their roles may be diminishing over time, and in time they may well not longer serve a purpose. At the moment The Texas Caver provides the best archive of cavin
