The Government Canyon Karst Project will be starting up again on on the weekend of October 8 and 9. The dates for the rest of year are as follows: October 8, 9 November 5, 6 December 4 We will be working on several cave surveys, a dig in Government Canyon Blowhole - following the air, the continuing digs in Dancing Fern Cave and Lost Pothole, and surface digs on several likely-looking sinks. Of course there is always plenty of ridgewalking for those who want to find new caves. Directions to the Government Canyon Karst Project:
Find the intersection of U.S. 16 and Loop 1604 in northwest Bexar County (clearly shown on any state highway map). Drive 2 miles north on U.S. 16 to the third traffic light and turn left onto FM 1560 (there is a Shell station on the corner). Follow 1560 for 3 miles till you see the sign for GCSNA. Follow the arrow to the right and drive 2 more miles to the sharp left turn in the road. The gate to GCSNA is straight ahead. Enter at the gate and then take the first right. There is an unlocked gate that will need to be opened and then closed behind you. Continue to the Volunteer/Research Station, where we will meet. We will meet at 9:00 both mornings. Camping is available. Contact me to set it up. Marvin Miller (210) 415-5190
