Galen, My memory of the exact spot is about 200 feet from there, but I saw the corral like structure on the aerial imagery and just pinned that. My memory is a square fenced area much smaller and under the trees out of view a satellite and little to the south. None of that so called

Zoom in on this. Is it a tiny karst pond ? Dropped Pin https://goo.gl/maps/XsUCuEok8NF2 Turn on satellite imagery. P.S. it does not seem to be bad idea to post a cave location on CaveTex when it is 100 yards from the front door of a school and behind a house. I bet more vandals have been

Who can tell us about this once popular cave ? Dropped Pin https://goo.gl/maps/xzjTddAKpZ72 If you zoom in all the way you can see the chain-link fence around the cave. Does the BCCP still have a key and grant access ? ___ Texascavers mailing list

That shouldnt be an unpopular approach Joe. In fact I was given that exact advice from a fellow caver very early in my exposure to the community and ask things caver. It was very sage advice then and has served me well. In fact I parrot that viewpoint to every one introduce to caving. MJ On Oct

>From David Locklear At some time in 1983 or 1984 before I started caving, several Texas cavers ( maybe from U.T. Grotto ) arranged with the rancher to haul a ton of heavy trash ( mostly rusted metal ) out of the sinkhole with the big tree in it ( a.k.a. Big Tree Cave ). The tree is just a

The enthusiasm is great! Jules is also running for the TCMA board and I plan to vote for her. Something I've been thinking about for a while. It would be awesome if folks would pick one Texas caving board to support. They are all working boards and need as much time as folks can contribute.
