David, A most unusual and daring climb. I am not a rock climber but have never seen this technique. He puts a lot of faith in these hand tools but they seem to be most effective. Thanks! Fritz Holt fritz...@gmail.com Sent from my iPhone On Dec 2, 2014, at 7:45 AM, David via Texascavers

Re: [Texascavers] the good old days

I agree! This is a compilation of the best caving (spelunking) stories I have ever read. Now Helmer can be recognized for his storytelling as well as his early Texas Caver art work. I can relate as I first started spelunking in the early 1950's with my first wild cave being Frio Bat Cave in

[Texascavers] Fwd: doe at the feeder this morning

A stretch for caving related only because we are all lovers of the outdoors. These doe gather regularly at the continuous feeder immediately (250 feet) behind my home. I have a great picture of four eight point bucks gathered together here. May send if I can locate. I love Dripping Springs.

Jim, Is there actually going to be an auction at TCR this year such as is held at the convention? Fritz Holt fritz...@gmail.com Sent from my iPhone On Oct 9, 2014, at 6:26 PM, Jim Kennedy via Texascavers texascavers@texascavers.com wrote: Not polite to ask him about his dental problems.

[Texascavers] Fwd: IT'S PAPER!!! IT'S REALLY PAPER?

Looking at all the related posts, I think TCR will be a blast, as usual. Seems like a stretch but I guess it is all considered caving related. What ever happened to OT? Is it deactivated? My post is definitely OT but at least it isn't political. It is very interesting and informative. Fritz

Re: [Texascavers] Cave Collector in Minnesota Hunts for Additions to His Empire

Seems to me that Mr. Ackerman's caves could be donated to the NSA, a non-governmental entity for the same purposes for which they are currently being used. Fritz Holt fritz...@gmail.com Sent from my iPhone On Oct 6, 2014, at 10:54 AM, Lee H. Skinner via Texascavers

In the late 1950's when I first became interested in caving, I enjoyed seeing Helmer's clever Texas Caver covers and other art work. I don't have them now but they were priceless. Hey Carl, do you think he could really be living in Boerne? Fritz Holt fritz...@gmail.com Sent from my iPhone

[Texascavers] Memories from an old timer. K

I might be an Old Timer if age has anything to do with it. My first wild cave was Frio Bat Cave near Concan. Been there numerous times but the first was 1953 at age 18. I have several great pictures of bats roosting so thickly you cannot see the wall. They were taken from four feet away. I also

Re: [Texascavers] Devil's Sinkhole R.I.P.

Yes, the sinkhole did just fine without management when owned by rancher brothers. They gave me and two buddies permission to enter it in the summer of 1955. We had an exciting trip exploring the cave after climbing down the existent 165 foot steel cable ladder which terminated about 15 feet
