Logan, exactly how do you know what a Martian hand looks like?

[Texascavers] Potential cave lead on Mars

[David via Texascavers]

The attached photos shows a potential talus cave on Mars.

The dark abyss is allegedly at least 1/4 inch in diameter.   But if you
look carefully at the grains of sand something is blowing or sucking them.
 Right ?

If you see the sagging-p*nis like formation, I feel a caver should name
this lead as  Lead.  Fill in the name of whoever you nominate.

[Texascavers] Soda-straws on Mars ?

[David via Texascavers]

The crystal in the attached photo is allegedly 1/4 inch long and allegedly
formed on the surface of Mars.

Dr. Halliday would call this a speleothem because it likely formed by a
similar process - gravity, capillary-pressure, mineralization from solid to
liquid back to solid, etc..

Re: [Texascavers] Bat in the bedroom

I've had a big brown in my house here in Missouri twice. They can come down the 
chimney or even thru the clothes drier exhaust. Keep warm!

John,

It could be a big brown bat. They move around during cold snaps and they like 
houses. Handle only with thick gloves. They bite!

[Texascavers] Bat in the bedroom

Just got a frantic call from my mother that a bat is flying around her bedroom. 
They've had record cold temps this week (Indianapolis). Shouldn't bats be

[Don Arburn via Texascavers]

It’s now a new year and I am compelled to remind D Trip Leaders MUST be 
current TCMA members as required by the management plan. If you are planning to 
lead an upcoming trip or planning for a future trip it would be good to check 
your membership status. Thanks!!
