This is SOOOOOOO cool! I am already registered. NOTE: When you sign up for LCSP, they require a background check. Can't be any worse than the 24-pager I just completed for a job in Austin!
And, you can sign up for so many other things, too - like grant writing!! And even more exciting activities above ground, too. This was long overdue - very proud of TPWD for setting this up. What a great tool! julia -----Original Message----- From: Mark.Alman <mark.al...@l-3com.com> To: texascavers <texascavers@texascavers.com> Cc: germanyj <germa...@aol.com>; Kuvasz1 <kuva...@mygrande.net>; lyndon.tiu <lyndon....@gmail.com>; bill <b...@zaraenvironmental.com>; natashanichole <natashanich...@yahoo.com>; cefrancke <cefran...@yahoo.com>; trogdog <trog...@hotmail.com>; cowboycountry <cowboycoun...@sbcglobal.net>; mreaiken <mreai...@gmail.com>; Mark Alman <texascav...@yahoo.com>; bellember <bellem...@yahoo.com>; edwin lehr <edwin_leh...@hotmail.com>; kristopherchandler <kristopherchand...@yahoo.com>; sharonavery409 <sharonavery...@yahoo.com>; caseydtucker <caseydtuc...@gmail.com>; mmayeu4 <mmay...@gmail.com> Sent: Mon, Oct 22, 2012 2:43 pm Subject: RE: [Texascavers] Caving AND Power Tools?!

We have finally finished the paperwork to getvolunteers at Longhorn!!! Here is the site to go to and apply: http://ec.volunteernow.com/custom/1353/ All volunteers must apply, then select a location, easiest to plugin Longhorn’s zip code, 78611. The new system works faster than the olderpaper. Thanks Mark! Terry Rodgers Inks Lake State Park 3630 Park Road 4 W Burnet, Texas 78611 cell 512-636-6206 It’s a very cool website and TPWD has several volunteeropportunities, besides caving (imagine that!) that you might be interested in. Complete the online application and see what other areas ofinterest are out there and might appeal to you. I know I found some! Very painless! Thanks!

It Must Be a LonghornCaverns Project Weekend, November 2nd thru 4th! Well, with TCR in the rearview mirror, andHalloween will soonbe behind us by the time thisrolls around, what better way to kick off the fall than a Longhorn Caverns Projectweekend involving caving, electricity, and power tools! The TPWD has graciouslyfollowed through and purchased some much needed equipment for us to make some long overdue trailimprovements to a few areas Throughout the cave. Other funds for severalother projects in the cave are to follow. In the meantime, thisproject will involve scoring ~ 61 feet of concrete throughout thecave (after we remove some gawd awful Astroturf © ) to improve traction, safety, and overall appearance. We will have to do thisafter hours on Saturday night and, if there’s enough interest, I’dlike to do this on Fridaynight, as well. We have enough equipmentfor 8 (!) crews to be at work at one time. As a reward for helping outwith this, the park is offering: · Free camping Friday and Saturdaynights · Free use of The Basement for wild cave tours (the Crownover back entrance isstill off limits). · A Free Vanishing Texas Bald EagleBoat Cruise Sunday on beautiful Lake LBJ to observebald eagles! If you have waterjugs with screw on caps,please bring them. Hope to see the old handsback at the project this month, as well as any new faces interested in helpingout. This is a truly fun andenjoyable project and we try hard to keep it that way and we guarantee a greatweekend! Come out to a spectacularand historic cave and park, friendly park staff, and the always entertainingcamaraderie of cavers! Hope to see you this month! Thanks! Mark
