As I remember the story, it wasn't "digging" that the Park was worried about; it was the fact that we were there at all. We had published a trip report and map saying we had crossed under the Park boundary in the QA survey, and somehow that got to Park management. Someone got a letter or phone call to the effect that we should not be caving under the Park without permission. We replied that we were very sorry, and that they would never hear of that happening again. Note we didn't say we wouldn't do it, only that they wouldn't hear about it. There were several trips beyond that spot, and as far as I know, it is still a lead.

Somewhere I have a photo of the sign, but I don't know exactly where. It would be fun for someone to post a photo of it. Diana ************************************************** Diana R.

Nancy If I recall there is (was) a TPWD boundary sign that was placed by cavers in one of the side passages in Honey Creek Cave were it goes under the park boundary fence. Someone at TPWD had said something to the effect that cavers needed to stop "digging" they way they were in that passage under the park as that method of "digging" was not approved by TWPD (and that is what propmpted the placement of said signage). <Honey Creek Park Boundary.jpg>_______________________________________________ Texascavers mailing list | http://texascavers.com<http://texascavers.com/> Texascavers@texascavers.com<mailto:Texascavers@texascavers.com> | Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/texascavers@texascavers.com/ http://lists.texascavers.com/listinfo/texascavers ________________________________ UT Southwestern Medical Center The future of medicine, today.
