[Texascavers] If you know Bob Liebman
I'm going to send him a letter tomorrow. Bill Steele Bob Liebman Update If you are a relatively new caver and don't remember Bob & Bob there's no need to read further. As I'm sure you know, Bob Liebman is one of the Bobs in Bob & Bob. His cave gear sales operation was a fixture at many caving events from around 1973 until the early 2000s. Bob is currently being treated for cancer and is in a rehab center near Lewisburg, West Virginia. I was in the area this weekend stopped in to visit him. He is really really weak, but he's alert and (as always) very talkative. He seemed to be in fairly good spirits, but lamented that Bob & Bob is now just a memory. Several times during my visit he mentioned that he has received letters from cavers thanking him for the personal service and advice he gave them as they were getting started rather than just selling them stuff and then ignoring them. If Bob Liebman was instrumental in getting you properly equipped for caving please take a minute and write him a short note thanking him for the advise he gave you along with whatever you purchased. I think he will appreciate hearing from his over 40 years of customers. Bob doesn't do e-mail so please write to him at the following address: Bob Liebman PO Box 441 Lewisburg, WV 24901 Please pass this message on to any other cave-related e-mail lists.

Re: [Texascavers] Texas gypsum caves for sale
My bad on that, it's still for sale, from the listing: "The locals will recognize this property as Beasley's cave or also known as Walkup's Cave" "In my opinion the best part of the property is BEASLEY'S CAVE!! This cave is awesome! I personally have not made it all the way thru this cave but I soon will!! It has the most beautiful rock formations!! You have to crawl in some parts, but it is tall enough to walk thru most of the caverns. The path does have spots of cold, clean waterbut so far the deepest was a short area that was knee deep. I was very nervous about bats and spidershowever this cave is super clean!! After being in the cave for over an hour I saw very few bats and no insects! Students from Texas Tech have explored and studied the cave as well as bat experts. I will be posting pictures of the inside of the cave later plus I will try to measure how long the cave actually it (I have heard rumors it comes out on the Pease River). I will be glad to give tours of the cave but only to serious potential buyers and only after a disclosure is signed. This property would be perfect for a family or a group of friends wanting a place to have fun, relax or hunt. This would be perfect for the business that needs a retreat to send their clients and employees! Another thought may be to create a commercial park for people to rent out!" Terry H.
