Re: [Texascavers] UT Grotto Meeting - Aug 31

Aubri, 
Please sent me a detailed email on how to connect with Periscope as this "Bob" 
presentation is not to be missed!
My  previous attempts to connect via Periscope have not been  successful. 
By the way continuing on this porcupine thread, many Texas cavers explored 
caves in the Bob Marshal Wilderness in the '70's and '80's and later. The Bob 
is one of the largest uninhabited and roadless areas in the lower 48. Folks who 
cave there have spend weeks at a time and one of the common critters wondering 
around camp is the Silvertip Porcupine. Common as  Armadillos at Enchanted Rock.
Thanks,
Preston Forsythe, KY

Greetings, cavers!
At the grotto meeting this week, Benjamin Schwartz will present on cave 
exploration in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, Montana! This includes Tears of the 
Turtle, the deepest known cave in the continental US at over 1,600 ft below 
ground surface. It is a challenging cave not only for its depth, but for cold 
temperatures, sucking mud, and a 22 mile hike to get to the entrance. In July, 
Ben was part of a team that camped at the bottom of Tears to continue 
survey...and it still goes!
Note: We will continue meeting in Burdine 116 for the Fall semester. (This was 
what UT assigned, possibly due to renovations in Painter Hall.) 
The presentation portion of the grotto meeting will be live streamed via 
Periscope https://www.periscope.tv/utgro tto at approximately 8:30pm CST (the 
actual time will be announced via Twitter @UTGrotto). ***

The meeting is at 7:45pm in Burdine 116. Follow this link to a map of where the 
building is located on the University of Texas campus: http://www.utexas.edu/ 
maps/main/buildings/bur.html

Before the meeting, take advantage of Sao Paulo www.saopaulos.net for happy 
hour specials. This is the best place to park and meet folks walking over to 
the meeting. After the meeting we continue with the decades long tradition to 
reconvene for burgers, beer, and tall tales of caving at Posse East!

See you there!
