I did not read the details of the last post, but just skimmed it.
I do not recall that the cave that I went to being across the Colorado

My previous post about the vicinity of the cave seem to be mistaken.

Bill's post mentioned something about the cave being in the hills.
My fuzzy recollection of the neighborhood of the cave I was in was in an
area that was flat by Austin standards, whereas across the river as the
report stated is where the hills are.
I only know 2 cavers that know where the storm
The cave mentioned in that 1840 newspaper article in NSS Bulletin 10 is not
Austin Caverns, which is indeed north of the river and near Lake Austin. There
was a mistake made by the author and the 1840 newspaper article is actually

Wow, that would be really cool. I unsuccessfully tried to locate it back in

It has been 20 years for me, but my recollection was that some one could
