[Texascavers] TCR cooks wrap-up (sort of...)

The coolers are washed and put away, the recycling sorted (thanks all for only 0.5% trash in there!) and put out, bills paid... Only the washing up and re-pack of the trailer to go... Would like to thank the Aggies for another *outstanding* contribution - helping cook, serve, wash up after (!!)

OK. BUT THERE ARE QUALITIES FOR CAVER STEW. IT IS A STEW. It is usually concocted at the entrance to a car after a long and arduous caving trip. Sometimes it gets eaten by sneaky dogs. Caver stew has certain elements. Fresh onions. Noodles, cheese, mushroom soup, salt and pepper and other things to

[Texascavers] Lost and found ?

I accidentally left my mindset, memory channels, frame of mind, inner-thoughts, marbles, etc., in the cold water of the Medina River. If found,. leave them there, and I will pick up next October. If I don't return to pick them up, please put under an algae covered rock. __

I met Ken at the 2016 TSA Spring Convention. He was obviously new, but made a valiant effort to meet everybody and learn everybody's name and find out what their claim to fame was. I think he has already read and memorized part of "the" book on the history of Texas caving. David Locklear NSS # 2

As to the Jaseks, we missed the last two years due to my recovering from unexpected surgery both years which made travel and camping unacceptable risks to total recovery. This was known to those who needed to know. I also still work, and being a responsible person, can not always take off when c

Re: [Texascavers] potential future TCR attendees

No such thing as a free lunch. David, go ahead and start putting a hundred dollar bill in the TCR bank each month and by the time 12 months rolls around we can implement this scheme. Double that amount and we can pay for a caterer, triple that hundred dollar deposit and we can add a live band to
