Thanks Gary. Nice little animation of how the aquifer works
in the second slide. Unfortunately when I tried to watch the last
slide, a video of the sinkhole in flood, all I got was another copy
of the second slide, but rotated sideways. :-(

Folks,
Here is the link to a nice article that appeared in the San Antonio
Express News today (Tuesday, June 11, 2013). This was a trip to Seco
Creek (Valdina Farm) Sinkhole in Medina County. The reporter (Colin
McDonald) did a very nice job on discussing some aquifer issues and
reporting on the cave. David Ochel was in a picture in the front
page above the fold. He also had a nice quote. Gary Franklin also
got a nice picture in the paper on page 7. I think the paper had
about 12 photos on their web site. Here is a list of everyone that
participated. Many many thanks to everyone that worked hard on this project.

Yeah, I got a hard copy of the paper so only put up the link. Turns out, you
got to pay money to see the rest.

Hi Geary,
Unfortunately, unless you're a digital subscriber to the paper, you can't
access the whole article, but you can look at some really nice pictures. Thanks
for sending it along.

Mark,
Here is a link to our web page showing various videos. The forth one down
showing the trench is the Edwards Aquifer Sinkhole. That's the Valdina Farm
Sinkhole.

There is sinkhole that opened in the infield of the Ballpark at Arlington.
Grounds keepers hope to fill it in so as not to delay the scheduled 7:00 pm
start time for tonight's Rangers vs Cleveland game.

That is only 500 meters from the old Spelunker Tube

The 500 meter number was estimated from the end of the upstream unexplored
passage to the sink-hole.

Actually "The Cave", better known as the Spelunkers Cave, a great attraction at
Six Flags back in the day...

Below is a link to a Black Diamond investigation into initially inexplicable
harness failure. It's climbing gear, not caving gear, but is very interesting.
