Thanks, John.
Yes, it's probably a side effect of my DNA.

Dear Friends,
Below is a message about the international cave conservation award. Note that
this has nothing to do with the country of France. France is the given name
of some people in Slovenia, and in this case for the caver who whom this award
is named after.
Please feel free to share this message.
Thanks,
George

Would somebody be so kind as to respond to this post with the date for the
next Ezells Cleanup.
I suspect the date may have just past.
Looking in San Marcos area for some volunteer activities for my Scouts.
Thanks, Rob

Rob,
Nope, the work day is next Saturday, April 19. I hope Scouts and other groups
can come out. We will have two dumptrucks of mulch to spread so will need
wheelbarrows, shovels and rakes. Gloves and boots are recommended.
Ron
Cavers, we need your help! The Texas Cave Management Association (TCMA) will
be sponsoring a work day to spruce up the Ezells Cave Preserve in Hays County.
The date is Saturday 19 April 2014 beginning at 10:00 am and ending about 2:00
in the afternoon. Meet at the 1500 block of Brown Street, San Marcos. Cell
number for the day: 512-797-3817 (Ron Ralph).
We plan to cut dead wood, remove limbs, cut weeds, and just generally make the
property more attractive. Ediger is bringing his chipper to mulch the waste
material. We will be concentrating on the front part of the property but will
work inside the fence to prepare the ground for a new bat-friendly cave gate.
We will also be spreading mulch for erosion control on the trail down to the
fence gate.
We need people, saws, loppers, sling blades, weed eaters, and maybe even
someone with a trailer willing to carry all the debris to the landfill. And if
you have a wheelbarrow, bring that along with a shovel and a rake. Bring
gloves, boots and your own drinks and snacks for the work, but TCMA will treat
all volunteers to pizza and drinks afterward. We will have water and litter
bags for your use.
If anyone wishes to enter the cave after the work is completed, the Preserve
Manager has agreed to that.
