Howdy Caver,
You are cordially invited to attend the Underground Texas Grotto meeting.
Underground Texas Grotto meeting on Wednesday August 17, 2011 from 7:45 P.M.
- 9:00 P.M.
University of Texas Campus in 2.48 Painter Hall (156 West 24th Street,
Austin TX 78712) http://www.utexas.edu/maps/main/buildings/pai.html
Ron Rutherford will be presenting Zacatecas – High Desert Caving
In early June 2007 Ron Rutherford, Scott Serur, and Scott's brother went
down to Zacatecas which borders between a the region of Zacatecas and San
Luis Potosi to explore an area that the locals claimed to have caves. Indeed
there were a few along with some mines and other interesting things. Come
spend some time with Austin Texas Cavers and visit with friends of the
extended caver community.
For information on Underground Texas Grotto activities, please see
www.utgrotto.org
Officer contact, trip reports, event calendar, and new caver training links
to beginner trips or vertical rope training are available.
Before the meeting, take advantage of Sao Paulo www.saopaulos.net for
happy hour specials. 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. www.posse-east.com
The UT Grotto needs you, the caver with photos and a story to share about
your adventures, scientific research, or something else really cool. Contact
me.
Sincerely,
Gary Franklin
UT Grotto Vice Chair & Program Organizer

I am in need of a place to crash until the 22nd of September. Will
gladly prepare all meals, keep house and remain otherwise invisible. I
really need to be on a bus line though. If anyone can help let me
know.

Unless somebody is pulling our legs, these videos show the president
of Mexico being lowered into Golondrinas and cave-diving Yucatán.
