Howdy Caver, You are cordially invited to come check out the next UT Grotto meeting. Wednesday January 16th from 7:45PM- 9:00PM 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
Bev Shade will present Ongoing Caving Adventures in Quintana Roo Bev spent time down in Mexico exploring and mapping a network of passage under the paradise of mayan jungle in Quintana Roo. The Yucatan Peninsula contains a wealth of world class caves and beaches with cool Mayan history. These relatively shallow caves are plentiful in the area and contain spectacular formations, pools, and huge borehole passages that trek on and on. Come out to share in the stories as well as the fun and fellowship with Austin Texas Cavers. Visitors are always welcome. UT Grotto cave meetings include caving trip reports and updates on projects, trips, training, and other caver activities where you can get involved. For information on Underground Texas Grotto activities, please see www.utgrotto.org for 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 Program calendar 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 caver.g...@gmail.com Bev Shade <bev_sh...@yahoo.com>
