Re: [Texascavers] Longhorn Caverns Project Weekend- Saturday, February 2nd!

I did this months ago - like the day the mandate came out. I specified LCSP as well as volunteering to do grants for TPWD. Just took a few minutes. They did not ask for fingerprints, hair or blood ;) - from julia's cell On Jan 17, 2013, at 14:13, mark.al...@l-3com.com wrote: > Kyle brings up a

RE: [Texascavers] Longhorn Caverns Project Weekend- Saturday, February 2nd!

Kyle brings up a good point and one that I neglected to mention. TPWD and the folks at Longhorn are requiring volunteers to register before coming out. (Don't freak out! It's not some "One World Order/Black Helicopter/Fluoride in your water" conspiracy!). It's not that big of a deal!

Re: [Texascavers] Gravity-powered LEDs.

Did any of you smart-asses actually play the video?   This is a request for development funding so you can't actually go buy these things.   The idea is an inexpensive, cheap-to-operate light to replace kerosene lighting in rural 3rd world (read African) countrysides.

When I worked as a grip we had "zip-cord", different than zip-line. You would have to spool it off as you rappelled. But boy what a mess. It would be like cleaning up phone line in a cave from the 60's. Hummm, never mind. Jon -Original Message- From: mark.al...@l-3com.com [mailto:

Well, you could set up some pulleys to keep the light at the bottom where it would be more useful. Or even fancier, have the light by the caver all the way down. - Fofo On 17/01/13 10:30, mark.al...@l-3com.com wrote: Details! :) Mark -Original Message- From: Mark Minton [mailto:
