I can help with TP Patrol on Saturday, and with serving the evening meal on 
Saturday (if that’s needed).

I can’t guarantee I’ll be there until late on Friday night, and I have to leave 
very early on Sunday morning.

Put me down for this, it's a shitty job, but I am qualified and been spreading

[Texascavers] former Aggie question

2016-08-23 Thread David via Texascavers
I presume some Aggie cavers graduated in 2016 and left College Station or
Galveston for good.

I am curious how many A.S.S. members who left College Station or Galveston,
before 2015, are still actively participating in "organized" caving in some
manner.

I can think of three:   John Brook and Travis Scott and maybe myself.I
would assume Alan Glennon is still caving somewhere.

I contacted 2 of the most active members that I knew in the 80's to see if
they would be interested in writing an article to reminisce about their
caving memories.   They both flat out told me no.

I can sort of relate to that.   I can not think of anything to write other
than to rehash things I previously posted here on CaveTex.We took very
few photos or our trips and the few we took are either crappy or lost or
misplaced.

[Texascavers] LaChance Sinkhole Dig on Sunday, August 28 at 9 am

2016-08-23 Thread Geary Schindel via Texascavers
Folks,

The Bexar Grotto has a monthly dig project at the LaChance Sinkhole on Sunday, 
August 28 at 9 am. Location is near New Braunfels off of Rt 306, west. There is 
a limit to the number of folks the property and sinkholes can handle so I need 
a head county. We’re going to limit the number of folks attending to about 20. 
I need to have a head count on who is going since the grotto has donated some 
funds to cover a lunch/picnic after the dig. The LaChance’s want to know so 
they can also plan. There will be digging and some socializing going on. (Yes, 
some of my caver friends need to be socialized).

We’re looking for strong back - weak mind types but I also have some positions 
open for folks that would like to try their hand at management – maybe Rob and 
Jess will bring their Cat O Nine Tails as a motivator.

We’ll also have swimming in the Guadalupe River nearby after the event..

Here is what you need to know. – Please read carefully.

There are four sinkholes on the property. Two digs are in caves and two are 
surface digs.

This is a good opportunity to help them with improving the drainage of their 
property as the sinkholes now back up and flood their house during heavy rains. 
These are some of the larger sinkholes in the area and drain more than a square 
mile. There is lots of potential there.

Depth to groundwater is approximately 250 feet so we have a ways to go to reach 
the water table. The location most likely drains to San Marcos Springs so there 
is a lot of potential.  The sinkholes were taking water this Sunday so they may 
be a bit muddy.

We’ll start digging around 9 am and knock off around 1 pm for a picnic. The 
grotto has donated some funds for burger and sausage. Please consider bringing 
a dish.

After eating, we’ll head over to the river to clean up some and go swimming. 
They have access to a private beach along the river.

Bring helmet, light, boots, gloves, drinks, short shovel, spud bar, 5 gallon 
buckets, rock shaving equipment, etc. if you have it.

I need to know on Wednesday whether you want to go. There is also a limit to 
the size of the group. When you let me know if you’re going, I’ll send you the 
address.

Thanks,

Geary Schindel
