Howdy Texas Cavers!
Kickoff the New Year at the first grotto meeting for 2014! This Wednesday
Guin McDaid and Andy Edwards will be sharing their recent caving exploits.
Guin will share pictures and stories made while looking for caves at Big
Bend Ranch State Park and Andy will be presenting on the latest trip in
Fisher Ridge Cave in Kentucky. See you there!
We will now be meeting at 7:45pm in *Burdine 136*. Follow this link to a
map of where the building is located on the University of Texas campus:

Before the meeting, take advantage of Sao Paulo www.saopaulos.net for
happy hour specials. Attendance by cavers varies but this area is the best
place to park and meet folks walking over to the meeting. Then after the
official meeting, we continue with the decades long tradition to reconvene
for burgers, beer, and tall tales of caving at Posse East.

Last Sunday on NPR's "This American Life" the third segment
was about a famous body recovery in Boesmansgat (Bushmansgat) in
South Africa. It's a good recounting of the tale of cave diver Dave
Shaw who discovered the body of a missing diver and vowed to bring it
out. In the process he died himself. Boesmansgat is one of the
world's deepest underwater caves. The story is at
