TCR is coming up fast! As many may know, we have reserved the entire fabulous
park of Paradise Canyon near Medina lake and I am excited! Today I picked up
the door prizes and -man-o-man- some folks are gonna walk away with some cool
stuff!!
There are contests aplenty! Rope climbing, survey, etc. We will have projectors
(slide and digital) so bring your pictures to share. The ubiquitous hot tub
will set up and awaiting to sooth your caving aching muscles. The river is
beautiful and flowing and the grass is green and waiting for your bare toes and
tent pads. The park is bigger and better than ever and there was a rumor that
the owner bought nearly 50 acres across the road for hiking and ridge walking.
There are cabins as well for those who need more civilized accommodations (you
need to contact the park directly and make these arrangements). Bring your well
behaved dogs (clean up after them!), kayaks, canoes and floaties and bikes and
camp chairs. We will have a do-dah parade with a Maya Apocalypse theme, so come
prepared for it and costume contest!
As usual we will have awesome food for those who eat and beer for those who are
thirsty!
If your pet/child is well behaved and well socialized, it is welcome to attend.
If it barks/screams incessantly or starts fights or bites or has mange, please
leave it/them at home. We have had pretty good luck in the past, lets not ruin
it now. No explosions/cannons/rockets/fireworks/dragons, please. Live
chupacabras welcome as are genuine sasquatch. We will be checking.
Cavers, the park loves having us and we want to keep it that way, please clean
up after your pets and pick up any trash you find. The park has always been
impressed by how we leave the park cleaner than before we arrived, lets show
them how environmentally conscious we are.
Here is the breakdown for registration. Adults $25, kids $15, and a cap of $80
for a family (adults and kids). We do what we can to keep TCR affordable. If
you have a financial hardship, feel free to contact me off-list and we can work
something out. Registration will accept cash and checks but not credit cards.
We encourage you to bring cash as it is easiest for us.
Please, come contribute your uniqueness and awesomeness to this annual event!!

Is there anyone driving down to TCR from Austin on Thursday afternoon who
could take one more passenger? I'd be happy to cover your gas for the trip
if you could pick me up at the airport on your way out of town (my flight
arrives at 4PM).
And yes, I know it would have been closer to fly into San Antonio but I
wanted to spend some time in the Center-of-the-Caving-Universe after the
weekend and there was the added incentive of Southwest offering non-stop
flights between Austin and Oakland.
Your friend in West Hottubistan (Marin County)

I'm posting this on behalf of Pete Strickland, for those of you who have not heard the news. Most of you know Pete, and probably have been in
his famous hot tub at Texas caver events and NSS Conventions over the last several decades.
Pete slipped on his wet bathroom floor last Monday night (Oct 1st), took a hard fall, and fractured the head of his right femur. He is in the
Round Rock Hospital (just north of Austin) and is scheduled for at least a week of "excruciating" (his words) physical therapy before he can go
home. His wife Jocie Hooper (a RN) and sons Colin and Evan are taking turns to be with him. Just talked to Jocie who said he won't be able to
put any weight on the right leg for a month. When Colin made the announcement on Wed at the UT Grotto meeting, there was much concern about
Pete, most of it regarding the possibility that he would not be able to bring his hot tub to the upcoming Texas Caver Reunion Oct 19-21.
Although he probably will not be there, his sons plan to bring the hot tub, and will appreciate help in setting it up.

Logan,
Wow! All the hard years of caving and he falls at home. It has been
said many times most accidents happen in the home. Where is the Round
Rock Hospital, address, and what is his room number.

He must have gotten a spider fracture of the femur head, which I assume is
better than splitting the femur in half. Arrrgh. Anyway, hope you heal up
quickly and get back on your feet soon, Pete! An old boss of mine must have
broken three different bones at her own home as well.

They say most accidents happen at home.
Hell, I know what I'm doing this weekend...
I'm moving!!!
Hope you get to feeling better, Pete.
Take advantage of being waited on hand and foot! It'll be over with
before you know it.

as a trash account and general backup to my primary Gmail account i've decided
to terminate this one. If you would like to reach me in the furture please send
to my Gmail address. If you do not already have my Gmail address please ask for
it by calling or texting me at 512-762-3003.
Have a nice day,
