Frank, the last time I rented a cabin for a caving event it was the Texas NSS
Convention at Bracketville. Alas, my reason was so innocent: I brought my
12-yo twin daughters Katherine and Christine along, and I figured they would
have a better time with an air-conditioned place to hang out with friends like
Carol McGee's niece, Brooke,when they weren't doing caving stuff. And it ended
up as shelter for a buch of Houston cavers when the inevitable thunder storm
came along.
Oh, well, there was one less than innocent aspect to the expenditure: I knew
they were in a safe place while I was at the hot tub in the evenings! :-)
And BTW thanks again to John Moses for letting me use his dorm room at the
Kerrville ICS after he left. I had just had a knee operation and was hobbling
around.

Is there no mystery left in the world? I hate it when guys reveal ALL their
plans in advance. Leaves to room for discovery. Also sounds like he thinks he's
all that...

Dear Frank,
To refresh your memory, when you, me, Pete, Blake, et al. lived
together at Kirkwood, our collective hormones greatly enhanced the chances
for romantic encounters with the multitudes passing through on their way
to and from caving in Mexico. So do yourself a favor, and save room for
us in your cabin. We'll even stay there without charging you.

Hi Lyndon,
I just sent Paradise Canyon my $155 first night deposit for one of the
cabins. Now I face a typical thrifty caver's dilemma: Save $$$ by jamming as
many cavers as possible into a tiny sleeping space (a strategy that worked
well for Pete Strickland, Logan McNatt, Blake Harrison and me at 1307 1/2
Kirkwood back in the day), or increase my chances of getting laid during the
weekend by maintaining the cabin as a romantic retreat space for just my
enamorada and me. How to decide...how to decide...

Frank,
Nowhere does it say there is a limit to the # of people that you can
put in the cabin ... the more cavers you can put in one cabin, the
less $$$ per person ;)

Thanks for organizing this Don!
Great news about the air-conditioned cabins being available at Paradise
Canyon, which might persuade my non-caving and non-camping girlfriend to
accompany me this year. However, I see the price for cabins on the Paradise
Canyon website is $155 a night with a two night minimum, plus tax, and you
have to bring your own sheets, pillows and towels. Back in the day, that
amount of money would have covered a month of caving in Mexico.

O.K. Texas Cavers, this is it, the official announcement for Texas Cavers
Reunion 2012!!
October 18, 19, 20 & 21, 2012 is the date.
Paradise Canyon is the place.
For those who know, it's a great place in south Texas for car camping and
caver camaraderie. The park has grown in size since our last TCR there, the
camping extends all the way to the downstream bridge. There will be
additional
bathrooms and cabin facilities for those who want to splurge and get A/C and
a
bed. The rest of us will have very nice campsites down by the Medina River.
The park has improved many of the banks along the river and added more
picnic
tables. Paradise Canyon is a wonderful place for our Speleolympics, Hot Tub,
Big Feed, Swimming, Awards, carousing, fun and of course - The Parade! This
year's theme: 2012; Mayan Apocalypse!
Prices, Menu, Facebook and other specifics will be forthcoming.
