Que Bueno. The Spring rains have really made the chigger population here in
Deer Corn active and there are monster ticks roaming the bushes once again.
Of course it hasn't rained very much like it has in the east. And my trips
to the west find that the Big Bend is still dry as a bone.

[Texascavers] [Texas Cavers Reunion 2016]

[Don Arburn via Texascavers]

It's official, Texas Cavers Reunion has its venue. The water is once again 
flowing over the lower retention dam into Paradise Canyon park, and hopefully 
will continue to do so through October 13 to October 16, 2016. The corn is tall 
there outside of Castroville on the flowing Medina River, actually the water is 
currently OVER the retaining walls in Paradise Canyon park. There is now a 
playground and a beautiful new restroom and shower facility. 

There is a theme for our doo-dah parade too. Several good ideas were put forth 
and in the end I required a secret vote from my consultants which ended in a 
three way tie requiring me to bring in my heavy hitter tie breaker:
Magical Forest Creatures!
The rains have made the woods and countryside very very happy and green and the 
magic is strong now. The gnomes, fairies, trolls and Hodags are proliferating 
and putting on their summer coats of algae and mosses and lichens. The 
unicorns, Pegasus and griffons were out grazing along the green riverfront 
under the sycamores and cypress today. I think I even saw a wampus cat 
frolicking with a zoat. Certainly Bigfoot lurks, and I swear I smelled a 
skunk-ape.

More information to come, stay tuned
