I hope that someone has archived the combined posts of our brethren caver David 
so that a future anthology can be written. "The book of David: Musings from the

Yeah. Despite his statements to the negative, I’m looking forward to reading 
David’s narrative of his dramatic, last-minute, desperate, midnight ramble 
across Texas and New Mexico to drink a few beers and take a few selfies at the 
Howdy Party.

I have decided to give blogging another try.My previous attempts failed 

miserably to annoy anybody.

 

I am not sure how you find me on a blog, but I think the link below shows 10

post that I blogged over the last 4 years.

I should I have another blog out there somewhere on the web that I have not

The NSS Convention is just 19 days away. In order for me to attend that I

leave late, and arrive late.

living in a motel, and it would be stupid to pay for a motel here in Houston, 
during the days I am out

of town.While that would only be about $ 280 thrown away, it is still just 
stupid.  Moving out of the

motel, would be complicated as I have most of my stuff here just as I would in 
a furnished apartment,

It would take a full-day to pack up and store all my stuff in storage.That 
would just be inconvenient,

as I would have to repeat the process when coming back.Plus I do not want 
to lose this particular

customers ripped me off and it

is starting to look like I am going to lose about $ 1,400.My next issue, is 
my gas-guzzling Seqouia

needs lots of maintenance. If I were a betting person, I would bet that I 
do not make it to the Howdy

Party this year.  So realistically, I need to lower my expectations, and 
just try to attend the Tuesday

Re: [Texascavers] Anybody out there still blogging ?

[Geary Schindel via Texascavers]

Got to agree with that, it is one of the more exciting adventures at the 
convention.

I would be very disappointed if David doesn’t have some sort of epic adventure 
heading to or from the convention.

Enquiring minds want to know.

I should I have another blog out there somewhere on the web that I have not 
used in years, from
before the blog above started.


The NSS Convention is just 19 days away. In order for me to attend that I 
would want to leave
Houston by Thursday the 15th, or Friday the 16th.  But knowing my past 
attempts, I will probably
leave late, and arrive late.

I have some new drama this year that I did not have on my road-trip to Nevada 
last summer.   I ma
living in a motel, and it would be stupid to pay for a motel here in Houston, 
during the days I am out
of town.While that would only be about $ 280 thrown away, it is still just 
stupid.  Moving out of the
motel, would be complicated as I have most of my stuff here just as I would in 
a furnished apartment,
It would take a full-day to pack up and store all my stuff in storage.That 
would just be inconvenient,
as I would have to repeat the process when coming back.Plus I do not want 
to lose this particular
room as it is the best one in the motel.My next issue is 2 shyster 
customers ripped me off and it
is starting to look like I am going to lose about $ 1,400.My next issue, is 
my gas-guzzling Seqouia
needs lots of maintenance. If I were a betting person, I would bet that I 
do not make it to the Howdy
Party this year.  So realistically, I need to lower my expectations, and 
just try to attend the Tuesday
festivities only and just get a Day Pass.

[Texascavers] Anybody out there still blogging ?

[David via Texascavers]

I have decided to give blogging another try.My previous attempts failed
miserably to annoy anybody.

I am not sure how you find me on a blog, but I think the link below shows 10
post that I blogged over the last 4 years.

Have you tried requesting data on caves from the TSS for that area? Might save 
you some time and trouble. Then again .

Re: [Texascavers] Need help with a Property Evaluation Near Devils Sinkhole on Sunday, June 4th

[PRESTON FORSYTHE via Texascavers]

What an opportunity. A chance to walk the karst in the vicinity of the world 
famous Devil's Sinkhole, the star of Bulletin 10, one of my prized caving pubs.
That would really be fun.
But, sorry we cannot make it as going full steam so we can escape to the 
convention in NM.
See you there.

 Folks,

I’ve been working on a tracer testing project near Rocksprings, Texas over the 
last couple of months. We’re partnered with UT-San Antonio, Devils Sinkhole 
State Natural Area, Nueces River Authority, Real Edwards Conservation District, 
TTU – Junction, and local landowners. Our interest is to test the groundwater 
boundaries between the Llano and Nueces River basins. The surface water basin 
is located on the ridgeline east of Rocksprings that generally follows highway 
377 from Rocksprings east to the junction with Highway 41. The groundwater 
divide may be much further north and in the Llano River Watershed. It is not 
uncommon for groundwater and surface water boundaries to not agree. This may 
explain the presence and size of the Devils Sinkhole since it is relatively 
close to the surface water divide and also implies there is a large conduit and 
cave system at depth feeding the springs on the Llano and Nueces rivers. The 
identification of the groundwater boundary is important in calculating recharge 
contributions for the Trinity and Edwards Aquifer groundwater models to obtain 
an accurate water balance.

We’ve had problems finding suitable injection points in the area for dye 
tracing. We have good coverage of the potential discharge points (springs and 
wells) but need to find some caves or sinkholes we can use for the injection of 
dye.

We have started one tracer test from Devils Sinkhole but the results have been 
inconclusive as we probably didn’t use a sufficient quantity of dye. We plan on 
repeating the tracer test in Devils Sinkhole in the very near future. We also 
have access to a large ranch on Sunday to walk the drainages to the north of 
Route 377.  The thought is that there may be some small sinkholes or caves on 
the property that would allow us to inject water for a dye trace. What I need 
is the critical eye of cavers to help identify said features.

So, I’m looking for some help from cavers to come out on Sunday (June 4) and 
walk the property and evaluate karst features. While I can’t pay you or even 
cover your costs, I can offer an interesting opportunity and potential for new 
caves, participation in some interesting science, the undying gratitude of the 
citizens of the Nueces and Llano River basins, and the sense of accomplishment 
of a job well done (what more could you ask for).

If you’re interested in helping, please send me an email at 
gschin...@edwardsaquifer.org or call me at 
210.326.1576 (cell) and I can fill you in on the details.

Thanks,

[Texascavers] Need help with a Property Evaluation Near Devils Sinkhole on Sunday, June 4th

[Geary Schindel via Texascavers]

Folks,

I’ve been working on a tracer testing project near Rocksprings, Texas over the 
last couple of months. We’re partnered with UT-San Antonio, Devils Sinkhole 
State Natural Area, Nueces River Authority, Real Edwards Conservation District, 
TTU – Junction, and local landowners. Our interest is to test the groundwater 
boundaries between the Llano and Nueces River basins. The surface water basin 
is located on the ridgeline east of Rocksprings that generally follows highway 
377 from Rocksprings east to the junction with Highway 41. The groundwater 
divide may be much further north and in the Llano River Watershed. It is not 
uncommon for groundwater and surface water boundaries to not agree. This may 
explain the presence and size of the Devils Sinkhole since it is relatively 
close to the surface water divide and also implies there is a large conduit and 
cave system at depth feeding the springs on the Llano and Nueces rivers. The 
identification of the groundwater boundary is important in calculating recharge 
contributions for the Trinity and Edwards Aquifer groundwater models to obtain 
an accurate water balance.

We’ve had problems finding suitable injection points in the area for dye 
tracing. We have good coverage of the potential discharge points (springs and 
wells) but need to find some caves or sinkholes we can use for the injection of 
dye.

We have started one tracer test from Devils Sinkhole but the results have been 
inconclusive as we probably didn’t use a sufficient quantity of dye. We plan on 
repeating the tracer test in Devils Sinkhole in the very near future. We also 
have access to a large ranch on Sunday to walk the drainages to the north of 
Route 377.  The thought is that there may be some small sinkholes or caves on 
the property that would allow us to inject water for a dye trace. What I need 
is the critical eye of cavers to help identify said features.

So, I’m looking for some help from cavers to come out on Sunday (June 4) and 
walk the property and evaluate karst features. While I can’t pay you or even 
cover your costs, I can offer an interesting opportunity and potential for new 
caves, participation in some interesting science, the undying gratitude of the 
citizens of the Nueces and Llano River basins, and the sense of accomplishment 
of a job well done (what more could you ask for).

If you’re interested in helping, please send me an email at 
gschin...@edwardsaquifer.org or call me at 
210.326.1576 (cell) and I can fill you in on the details.

Thanks,

Geary
