Cavers, we need your help! The Texas Cave Management Association (TCMA) will be having a work day Sunday 18 December to clean up one of our properties, the Lost Oasis Cave Preserve in Travis County (south Austin). We plan to prune limbs, cut weeds, bag trash, and just generally make the property more attractive. We need people, saws, loppers, weed eaters, gloves, and even a chain saw. Bring your own drinks and snacks for the work. TCMA will provide bottled water. The cave preserve is across the street from Bailey Middle School, 4020 Lost Oasis Hollow, in the West Shady Hollow subdivision. All visitors to the Preserve will be asked to sign a liability waiver. Park along the street, and meet at the chain link fence surrounding the cave at 10:00 am. We should be finished with the work by noon. Preserve Manager Ron Ralph will open the cave gate then if anyone wishes to enter the cave. Bring your own cave gear. Ron can be reached at 512-797-3817 (cell) in case any one gets lost, or if you would like coordinate more details with him. I also have a map that I can send if necessary, since CaveTex doesn't do attachments. Contact me off list for the map, but no need to RSVP if you are attending. Just show up!
Thanks for your support of TCMA and cave management. Jim "Crash" Kennedy TCMA Preserves Chair
