This will be our last message on the Texas Cave Conservancy Winter
Conference this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We plan to have caver biologist,
James Reddell as our guest speaker after dinner Saturday night. Mike Warton
will be interviewing James about his caving, his interest in cave life and
some of the fantastic people that he has worked with over the years. It should
be a fun, informal, rare opportunity to learn who he is or more about him.
We have changed up some of the activities for this conference. As usual
most of the activities will begin around ten in the morning this Saturday at
the TCC Headquarters. (1800 West Park-Cedar Park Texas) The Digging Project
will leave for Dies Ranch Treasure Cave. The Cave Digital Photography Workshop
will leave for Avery Ranch Cave. The Cedar Park Karst Tour will start at the
TCC Headquarters. The Cedar Park Digging Discoveries Tour will start at the
TCC Headquarters. This year all of the Projects, Workshops, etc will end up at
the Dies Ranch Treasure Cave-BABE Pit site. Around two in the afternoon
Saturday we will have several mini workshops available at the Dies Ranch
Treasure Cave Site.
As usual, caving will be available from Friday-Sunday. Beck Ranch Cave is
closed so please do not visit the site. If you arrive late, handouts on how to
reach several of the caves including the location of the Dies Ranch site will
be at the TCC Headquarters. Encourage your new cavers to come on out. This
event is set up for them to have an chance to meet the more experienced cavers
and to learn from them. As usual, camping (with hot showers) is available from
Friday-Sunday.
