So, we should have some new trip leaders for the ICS, assuming the caves are open for the ICS. We are following the clean clothes protocols recommended by Jim Kennedy to help slow or stop the spread of White Nose Syndrome. Also, on Sunday, we're going to have an Easter egg hunt in the cat claw thicket - over where I saw the large snake the other day. Jim Kennedy hasn't sent out a trip report on the Punkin Mapping Trip but I will add that we now have the two water tanks on the property manifolded together and a new water pump for the cabin. The hot showers are wonderful Thanks to Rick Corbell along with Arron Wertheim for all his hard work on the pump and piping. Of course Jim fed us like kings. However, we may need to build another outhouse to accommodate the - well, you know. Great to hear that Butch is doing better. Butch, If you would like to come down to the cabin and relax for the weekend at Deep and Punkin, we would love to have you. However, you might get a good exposure to Hanta Virus or Histo and I'm not sure that dumping a lot of metabolized antibiotics into the outhouse would be good for the composting process. Let me know and we'll keep the light on for you. Geary Schindel Deep and Punkin Property Manager
