Keep posting the reports as you have been doing, Zach!
The oldsters out there don't realize (or want to admit) that they won't be around forever and we all need to do whatever we can to recruit/retain new blood in the Texas caving community. That's what I have been doing when I volunteer to give 6 to 10 cave talks a year (sometimes travelling several hours to do so), take youth on caving trips multiple times a years, and reach out to younger cavers, like y'all, in getting new projects up and running. The A.S.S. grotto, the UT grotto, the GHG, and other young folks out there were ESSENTIAL in getting Longhorn dug out and ready for ICS. Trips to this cave during ICS would have been impossible without the assistance of you "youngsters". Plainly said, Longhorn would not have been an option. I love y'all's humor, energy, and participation, either caving or here on CaveTex. Don't change and we need more like you!

Buidness is buidness. However, we enjoy cutting loose at the end of long days and our trip reports are often written for entertainment purposes rather than describing caving details. If you are a dried up caving curmudgeon with no sense of humor, then please don't read e-mails entitled "Tales from the ASS." I suppose that is too serious of a title after all. I hope that our tales of youthful bliss, about people who still enjoy life, may one day tear down the compounded guano walls built up by years of heads being stuck in holes and we can all party together. 'Til then, I suppose, you do you and we'll do us.
