This reminds me of the Sidney Sheldon novel from the 70's called The Other Side of Midnight. A women named Catherine was left for dead without a light source in a sea cave. It scared the hell out of me & I never forgot it! Check out this book if you love a great drama/mystery/romance novel.

It's quite interesting since the story seems to have been initially written as a piece of fiction. - Original Message - From: "Louise Power via Texascavers" To: "texascavers@texascavers.com" Cc: "Louise Power"

Good idea, Louise. David: Sell the turkey with a "new" engine and get the Best Price you can before something else goes, like the tranny. Then buy some replacement It's either that or drive it (and your debt) into the ground. BUT get a GOOD mechanic to check a replacement out before you

Bill, I agree. With all that Park Service has to pay for and for all they do for our parks and the fact that the Orange Menace's Congress seems to be cutting back the budgets for all the land management agencies, we shouldn't resent paying more considering what we get for our money. I've

Some parks are $15 for a vehicle, Rocky Mountain National Park comes to mind, and I think Lake Powell was the same. Taking 3 others into Carlsbad Caverns saves you quite a bit as well. Zion is a great park, Bill, did you go up the narrows? On Tue, Jul 18, 2017 at 10:54 AM, Bill Steele via

I got one in Zion National Park last year. It cost me $10 for a lifetime pass. It includes everyone in the vehicle with me. I told the NPS guy it was the best deal in the country and an incentive to live a long time. Bill Steele cwilliamste...@gmail.com > On Jul 19, 2017, at 1:37 AM, David

I am sure you all have heard that if you qualify for a Senior Pass with NPS, and do not have one that you should order one ASAP as the fee will increase in six weeks. I do not have the link in front of me. ___ Texascavers mailing list |
