[Texascavers] Devils River State Natural Area trip anouncement - November 8-9, 2014 :
Devils River StateNatural Area (Satan Unit) Karst Project -- November 8-9, 2014 The Texas Speleological Survey will be conducting a karst survey trip at the Big Satan Unit of the Devils River State Natural Areain Val Verde County, Texas. Theapproximately 18,000-acre park contains a number of known cave and karstfeatures that have not been adequately explored, surveyed, or inventoried fortheir resource potential. In addition to the known karst features in the park,the area has excellent potential for new discoveries. The area consists of anupland plateau that is dissected by several steep-sided and relatively deepcanyons that are covered with rather vicious vegetation. We do have the use of a cabin with limited bedding and amenities, so most folks will need to plan on camping. High clearancevehicles are needed for traveling the back roads in the park and several milesof strenuous hiking are required to reach some of the caves and karst features.The park has several miles of riverfront on the Devils River affording some excellentswimming opportunities. The trip will be November 8-9th,2014. As this will be our second project trip to the park, the numberof folks participating will be kept low until all logistical issues have beenworked out. We anticipate that there will be a number of trips to the park overthe next year or two. If you are interested in participating on the November trip,please email me and I’ll put you on the list. We’ll probably have more thanenough volunteers so I’ll be keeping a backup list in case there are anycancellations. Please contact me if youhave any questions. Hope to see you out there!

Re: [Texascavers] Caving in the Scotland Nation ?
Hi David, I'll ask my cousin next week when i'm at his wedding in Dundee. In your later email you give the link to his caving summary (he is arb). The above is assuming they let me into Scotland for his wedding, guess i'll just go and see how they voted now...

David, Scotland appears to have very little karst and few caves of interest. My guess is that the political situation there will be largely irrelevant to cavers, British or otherwise. WTF is the BRF?
