Re: [Texascavers] Bat in the bedroom

[William R. (Bill) Elliott via Texascavers]

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!

Thanks for the info. My brother, who lives locally (and wore gloves), confirmed 
the presence of lots of teeth being displayed by a very unhappy bat as they 
released it unharmed outside. 

Thanks again,

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!

Re: [Texascavers] Announcing the Texas Speleology Center

[William R. (Bill) Elliott via Texascavers]

I am very glad to hear of this development. I look forward to working in the 
AMCS and TSS libraries when I move back to Texas. Maybe I could draft some lost 
cave maps. 

Thanks!

The Texas Speleological Survey (TSS) and the Texas Cave Management Association 
(TCMA) are pleased to announce the new Texas Speleology Center! This facility 
will serve as the new joint headquarters for both organizations and will 
eventually be the new home of the TSS library currently located at the Pickle 
Research campus. The Texas Speleology Center is located near Driftwood, TX 
(southwest of Austin) and is in the former residence of Bill Mixon. The TCMA 
and TSS wish to thank Bill for generously working with us to acquire this 
property, which will serve the entire Texas caving community. 

The Center is located on 5 quiet wooded acres and contains a main building and 
a large metal barn. The main building contains a library, meeting room, office 
space, and a cooking area. It also has a full size basement with its own lower 
entrance and the main level has a large deck. The barn is suitable for storing 
trailers and equipment or holding talks and events. The Center currently holds 
the AMCS library, which we anticipate will continue.

The TCMA and TSS wish to thank the many people who helped this purchase come to 
fruition and we look forward to inviting the Texas caving community to join us 
at the Center in the upcoming year for many projects and events!

President, Texas Speleological Survey

[Texascavers] Elliott at TCR

[William R. (Bill) Elliott via Texascavers]

Hi all!

I am driving 900 miles to TCR but will only be there Sat. and Sat. night. 

I could show a preview slideshow of the AMCS bulletin I am writing on the 
Astyanax caves of Mexico. About 20 mins. 

If that doesn’t work out for all be aware that I’ll be giving the full show at 
the UTG meeting on Wed Oct 18, 8 pm. About 30 mins. 

Saludos!

Re: [Texascavers] Bat identification?

[William R. (Bill) Elliott via Texascavers]

John, it might be a hoary bat but the skin has burnt in the sun. Size might 
help.
