Drones could take the place of Karst Walker for sure and they could fly the ridges instead of us having to walk. We could just sit and drink beer and chase women while the drones drone. Such a plan. I love it. On Mon, Apr 4, 2016 at 5:04 PM, Crash Kennedy via Texascavers <

At the OTR or what ever it is these days someone flew an annoying drone around the place. I thought about batting it out of the air but maybe it could be flown into Devil's Sink Hole? Might be nifty to see. And I wonder if instead of cave diving people could use submarine drones. Hah. On Sun, Apr

Crash I talked to the schools and let them know. I don't know if there was any excitement. These are really back water schools. A teacher friend says these two schools are really very dumb. Sorry but I tried. Will keep after it. On Sat, Apr 2, 2016 at 10:55 AM, Crash Kennedy via Texascavers <
