[Texascavers] Caves / Cavers in the News, and other stuff

[David via Texascavers]

The article below appeared this week in several news sources, all of which
had so many advertisements that
it was difficult to read the article

 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5148001/
Creepy-Bronze-Age-cave-brought-life-3D-model.html

 https://www.livescience.com/61099-cave-of-the-dead-revealed.html


Obituaries:

The guy that allegedly found and named the Chinese blind cave beetle,
*Pilosaphaenops
whitteni*, was killed in a
bicycling accident.He was a contributor to the bat article below:
( may download slowly )

Here is a story from New Zealand with a video of virtual lava tube

http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2017/12/auckland-
s-underground-lava-tunnels-unveiled-in-3d-exhibition.html

It appears that cave-divers routinely publish photos to the web.   There
are dozens just from this week.

I guess this is one:

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/08/a4/df/08a4dfbf48adfd129d9caf549891982d.jpg



I believe this is a cave-diver from Galveston that many of you know:

For you gamers:

Here is some kind of weird game where a knight riding a horse on an island
is looking for stuff
and discovers a cave.He does not explore it, in this video.   ( Please
skip to 6:52 in the video )

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE4ohOkdeFk

Here is a bizarre video game scene underground by ( Crash & Friend ?? )
featuring a
cool piezo-electric kerosene lantern ( please skip to about 12:30 in the
video )

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fsl5kRX6xVQ

Here is a spooky cave in a video game with lots of graphics
( warning:   the motion in the video gave me motion-sickness )

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m18inwhpJJQ

There is probably a ton of new stuff on YouTube, but that should
be enough for one night.

Someone will someday need to make a karst portal to handle the
wealth of all the digital info on the web related to caves.There will
probably need to be some kind of national organization created to help them
maintain it.

[Texascavers] Interesting images

[David via Texascavers]

>From David Locklear


It is my hope that by clicking on the link below you will find dozens of
interesting images,

and clicking on those images may lead to more interesting images.

I do not know how to condense the link.  Sorry.

This should pull up "Google Images" and have mostly cave related artwork,
some vintage, maybe.

 DFW Grotto has had a project of thoroughly exploring and mapping Spring 
 Creek Cave, north of Boerne, the past few years. We are getting close to

 Our next trip will be on Saturday, January 6. This is an invitation to 
 join us. We will meet at the gate to Cave With a Name (CWAN) promptly at 
 9:00 a.m. that Saturday morning. A wetsuit is MANDATORY. One could be 
 rented from a dive shop. 
 
 The cave has deep water through about half of the suggested tourist route, 
 but swim fins are not necessary. You can pull yourself along on the walls. 
 A map will be provided showing the suggested route to the Shower Stall 
 waterfall, a scenic destination. 
 Good photographs and videos can be had if your gear is packed in a totally 
 waterproof container. 
 
 Camping at CWAN on Saturday night is encouraged. We will have a roaring 
 campfire and Texas caver-style camaraderie.
 
 Questions? Ask.
