/divdivSubject: High School Field Trip to Deep Cave /divdiv
/divMy name is Mark Childre and some may know me.  I’m planning a field trip 
with three teenage high school students from Laredo.  We plan to visit Deep 
Cave over Spring Break.  



Our plans are to enter the cave on March 8.  Right now, I'm the only caver in 
the bunch.  Two of the three have been in Robber Baron and did quite well.  I 
was hoping that someone might volunteer to help.  If I get hurt in the cave for 
some reason, I would need someone who could get us out --- and, hey, there's 
the helectite room -ou!!!



I have three:

Nathan Thorp  16 yrs old
Jose Cardenas   17 yrs old
Terry Roach 17 yrs old
I'll have all the paperwork giving permission and the medical releases, similar 
to what I had when we visited Robber Baron.



I've advertised on bexargro...@googlegroups.com but haven't had any response 
yet.

Or many of you actually can buy a printed copy, but of course that has the

Re: [Texascavers] Fwd: High School Field Trip to Deep Cave

2015-02-10 Thread Geary Schindel via Texascavers
Jim,

Mark is a geology instructor at Laredo Community College and an experienced 
caver. He did his thesis on hydrogeology of the “See My Shovel System at UTSA 
and worked as an intern at the Edwards Aquifer Authority. He called me asking 
for some help on that date this morning but it’s the same weekend as the BOG 
meeting and also your project at Ezell’s. I recommended that he send out an 
email to Texas Cavers asking for some help but don’t think he was signed up as 
of this morning. I told him I would post it to Texas Cavers since his post to 
the Bexar Grotto email server didn’t get any takers. Mark beat me to the 
posting. As a point of note, the average age of the NSS is just over 50 years 
old. To keep the organization alive and growing, we must invest in youth that 
will carry on exploration, conservation and education programs for the next 
generation. I appreciate Mark’s effort to help youth that are interested in 
caving.

If anyone is available and would like to help, I’m sure Mark would appreciate 
it. He has been to Deep on numerous occasions and I’m sure will do a good job.
