Subject: [Texascavers] Honeycreek trip May 8-10
For those who haven’t heard there is a Honeycreek work weekend
scheduled for the weekend of May 8-10. We will be camping at the
spring beginning Friday evening.
The focus for the weekend will be taking down the cables, and some
old fencing near the spring entrance. The owner also would like us
to pile up the debris collected along the fences so it can be burned
when the burn ban is lifted. If we are able to burn, we’ll have one
heck of a bon-fire. If there are extra people available I'm sure
there are other areas that need brush cutting. I'd say bring
gloves, chain saws (if you have one), and loppers. Some extra tow
chain would be nice as well since we'll be using multiple tractors
to move the cables, and large tree trunks that are against the cables.
Since this is primarily a work weekend, I'd say all are welcome
(even novices). Most of Saturday will be reserved for the work
projects, but we'll shut down by 4pm or earlier, and those who want
to go in the cave with appropriate team leaders will be turned
loose. There have been several requests for through trips, QA
trips, etc. But don't show up late Saturday afternoon so you miss
all the work, and expect to go caving.
Saturday evening, and Sunday morning will also be available for trip
leader training for ICS team leaders. Bill and I, and possibly
others will be leading several groups Saturday evening and probably
Sunday morning to different areas from the shaft entrance, since all
ICS trips will use only the shaft entrance.
We need about 25-30 cavers to help lead trips to HC during the ICS
convention. ICS trips to HC are scheduled for July 19,22,23,25.
This is your chance to meet new cavers, make new friends, and share
one of Texas’ best and its longest cave with others from all over
the nation and world. Contact Bill Steele or Myself if you want to
help lead ICS trips to Honeycreek.
