[Texascavers] Kiwi Sink is For Sale
Howdy Cavers, I just wanted to spread the word that Kiwi Sink in the Driftwood area has come up for sale by owner. It is on two acres off of Billie Brooks Lane in Hays County (amongst the small caver community there). The property has a fairly large 4/2 mobile home, garage/barn and some other items. Kiwi Sink is a somewhat significant recharge feature that local cavers have excavated over the years to approximately 102.3m long and 17.5m deep. The owner hopes that cavers can acquire it, but is putting it on the market and it will be open to anyone. He has verbally mentioned an asking price of $167,000 for the property at this time. If you or anyone you know might be interested in purchasing the property and cave, please let me know and I will get you in touch with the owner. Thanks!!

[Texascavers] book review: Caves of Burnsville Cove, Virginia
The Caves of Burnsville Cove, Virginia: Fifty Years of Exploration and Science, edited by William B. White, Springer International Publishing, 2015. 7.5 by 10 inches, 479 pages; hardbound ISBN 978-3-319-14390-3, $179; e-book ISBN 978-3-319-14391-0, $139 Burnsville Cove, nestled among the ridges of the Appalachians, has been one of the major caving areas in the eastern United States since the mid-1950s, when Nittany Grotto cavers began their survey of Breathing Cave, now over 6 miles long. Other long caves in the cove are the Butler–Sinking Creek System, 16.7 miles, the Chestnut Ridge Cave System, 21 miles, and Helictite Cave, 7.3 miles. Over ninety other caves are known. Cavers formed the Butler Cave Conservation Society, which, along with some of its members, bought or leased many of the cave entrances in the area. This book, one of a Cave and Karst Systems of the World series and a contribution of the Butler Cave Conservation Society, is a somewhat strange one for Springer, which specializes in expensive technical books for sale to libraries and professionals. Over half of it, thirteen chapters, is devoted to cave descriptions and histories of their exploration, often basically trip reports, or the BCCS itself. Over one hundred pages are about the caves of the Water Sinks area. For much more extensive coverage of that area, see Phil Lucas's Caves and Karst of the Water Sinks Area, available as a free PDF file from lulu.com; search for water sinks. Less than half of the book is devoted to ten chapters on the geology and hydrology of the caves and the area. (There are no chapters on biology.) Of course this means the book should be mainly of interest to cavers. The book contains hundreds of color photos, mostly small, and many cave maps. A free on-line supplement at http://extras.springer.com/2015/978-3-319-14390-3 contains 80 MB of maps of caves of Burnsville Cove, including an eleven-sheet detailed map of Butler Cave that might have been assembled into a single image, but it wouldn't have been easy—I tried. The question, of course, is how the hell this important book about caves and caving fell into the hands of Springer. The editor is certainly well beyond the point of needing to pad his academic credentials. Commercial publication might have bought careful copy editing, skillful photo preparation, and a professionally compiled index, but it didn't. If a volunteer was found to do the layout, some organization like the BCCS or the Virginia Speleological Survey could have published this book, in a cheaper binding and perhaps with more compact typesetting and selective use of color, and sold it at a substantial markup for forty bucks. But here we have a $179 Springer book that will, I suppose, end up in more university libraries but in almost no cavers'.—Bill Mixon Rules to live by: Don't. And don't forget to.
