Austin cavers, the TCMA is looking for someone to haul its new trailer from
Ediger's house to CWAN by Friday. It's heading to San Antonio afterwards, so no
need to bring it back. Contact me offline if you have a hitch and are willing
to help out. Thanks in advance.

Hey, Ron!
Could you give me a shout offline?
I need to talk to you about purchasing a couple of cave packs or three.
Thanks,
Mark

All,
The subject came up this past weekend during a caving trip as to the status
of the caves out in CaCa land.
We would like to plan a trip out there this Fall and were wondering if the
Forest Service, NPS, and the BLM still had Goat, Cottonwood, Black,
Sitting Bull Falls Cave, and the McKittrick Hill caves still closed, due to
WNS.
If someone if the know could give me a definitive update, it would be most
appreciated, as inquiring minds would like to know.
Thanks in advance!

I was in a nursing home cafeteria today, making a 5 minute visit to an ill
cousin.
An 83 year old guy at the table who was in poor health would not shut up
and just kept rambling about whatever was on his mind. He seemed to have
some bizarre need to share his thoughts, and there was not a soul in the
building willing to listen to him.
I was just about to leave, when he started rambling about spelunking in
Indiana caves.
I only asked him to tell me more.
He wasn't a caver, but I could tell that he could talk about caves on and
on. He said his dad was one of the spectators at the Floyd Collins
rescue. He said he had been spelunking about 20 times when he was a
teenager with a carbide lamp that a friend ( who he said was a real
spelunker from Bloomington ) had loaned him, but he did not consider
himself a spelunker. He had a reliable memory of all the commercial caves
in that cave region. But I couldn't stay. He would probably enjoy a
video-taped interview.

My memories of interviews with elderly people in nursing homes...consists of
great tales of caves with entrances big enough to ride a horse and wagon full
of Gold barsit went on for miles and connects to Carlsbad Caverns at some
deep level... now if they could just remember where it was located?
Lots of weekends hiking the West Texas desert on wild goose chases...
