[Texascavers] Road-trip to Ely ??

2016-07-13 Thread David via Texascavers
I am fantasizing tonight about a road-trip to the NSS Convention. It is only a foolish fantasy at the moment, but I was wondering if anyone is looking for a rider and if so how long do you plan to be gone. In theory, I could drive alone in my own car and leave Arcola tomorrow night and only

I was happy to see the photos of the ’66 NSS Convention in Sequoia National Park appear on the Texas Caver List. It brought back many great memories of the park and Giant Forest in particular. I, like Bill Mixon, did not make that convention although I had been an NSS member for two years. I

I was there with the UT grotto. That’s my pillow and green suitcase in the photo—a newbie to caving and camping. I haven’t caved in ages but have many great memories and enjoy following what’s going on today. Marsha Meredith > On Jul 13, 2016, at 1:15 PM, Carl Kunath via Texascavers >

Sam: My number was just a guess based on the vehicles and people that I actually saw. Somewhere, there is an official NSS registration. . . . Dusty old photos are at least as interesting as pictures currently posted on Facebook. Go for it. ===Carl -Original Message- From: Sam

Carol, We also can't find the name/location of the camp ground. Do you have a link to that information specifically? Tom Rogers and I (Amy Morton) looked on the site but to no avail. Thanks for helping! Amy Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphone Original message

[Texascavers] Sequoia in 1966

Carl, I enjoyed the photos from Sequoia. Diane and I were there. I don't know if you included us in the 10-12 Texans who were in attendance. We were one year removed from the UT Grotto and drove over from Salt Lake City. I think that we were camped near or in Groad Hollow but not in the
