Howdy Caver,
You are cordially invited to attend the Underground Texas Grotto meeting. Underground Texas Grotto meeting on Wednesday August 31, 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 Charlie Savvas will be presenting – 2011 Guatemala Caving Reconnaissance Charlie spent time recently down in Guatemala checking out leads for an upcoming expedition. Come check out some of his spectacular photography from his recent trip down south. Aubri Jenson will also be presenting - All Things Dark and Dangerous As cavers, we put ourselves at unique risk for exposure to some unusual health hazards of cave-related threats. While aimed at those new to caving or to Texas, this should be a good review for anyone who routinely goes underground. 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 512-585-6057 v...@utgrotto.org
