Well if you do Fritz, bring your own... The theme this year is
Caribbean/Pirate, I'm not sure they had sandwiches ;-)

I love a good sandwich with lettuce, tomato and spicy mustard. In addition to
white and wheat bread, could we have some rye?
It goes especially well with camaraderie. Who needs hot food when so many
prefer a liquid diet.

A cold table, i.e., pasta/salad/antipasto/sandwich route would be fine with me
and also be something different.
Desperate times and all.
Just my 1/50th of a dollar.

Gill,
I'm convinced, you smooth talker you. My ATV (but hopefully not me) stays at
home. I'll have my hiking boots and walking stick but please don't call it a
cane. TCR is always a blast and I don't see how it could be any dustier than
last years gathering. I guess there will be more cold meals at campsites this
year. That's OK as I like cereal. If Dave's Cave Saloon is operating this year
I will have to make a donation as I am sure it will be heavily frequented.
Fritz

My gut feeling, having many years of experience at Flat Creek Ranch and
having physically walked the grounds last week, is that this is a most
exceptional year. The drouth has dealt us a double blow that we normally don't
have to be concerned with--low water and dry and dead plant material (= fuel
for wild fires). And unless we have significant rains before TCR we must do as
much as possible to prevent sparks and dust and should be prepared to fight any
fires that may arise. We will be camped next to tender dry juniper which burns
like gasoline when ignited and spreads like wildfire--literally. As a first
response measure I've suggested that everyone include a dry chemical fire
extinguisher (or 2) when packing their caving vehicle for TCR.
I'm going to suggest that this year people leave ATVs and such at home. Not
only would they be unusually dusty and noisy this year but they can tear up
what little vegetation may be trying to survive and are more likely to create
sparks and, perhaps, flames. The few people who use them for getting around due
to disabilities should operate them slowly and considerately. Bicycles should
not be a problem but it would be good to remember that flint rocks litter the
ranch and flint rocks make sparks. Be aware of what is happening behind you.
Or, better yet, stick to the paved roads as much as possible.
Be aware that the creek water behind the dam is low and warm. Warm water can
be home to certain organism that could be
harmful to even normally healthy cavers. Diana, perhaps you can expound on this
a bit. The hot tub will be treated but the pond will not be.
I've been in consultation with the Ranch Manager and the TCR operatives and
have made the above suggestions. I'm convinced that we can have a lot of fun
and a good TCR despite some differences this year. Don't stay home just because
it won't be exactly the same as you remember. There'll still be plenty to
enjoy--people and activities. Stay tuned for further announcements from the
organizers as we get closer. Maybe it'll rain and the TCR will get back to
normal--or abnormal, however you see it. Rain dances at Grotto meetings and
where ever cavers gather would be appreciated.

I've always heard of them but not exactly sure what a Brunton compass is but I
think I have one. I have kept it in my Dopp kit for at least twenty years. It
is as new and like the ones we had in the army and the ones Boy Scouts once
used. I will have it at TCR and will gift it to whoever needs it. Someone will
have to ask me for it as I will probably not remember. I could also send it to
Austin tomorrow night with some clothing I plan to donate to Ben Schumacher.
Just let me know.
Fritz

Subject: [Texascavers] Brunton Compass
Folks,
Anyone have a Brunton Compass (Pocket Transit) they would like to sell. I know
a young caver/college geology student who is looking for one. I'm sure that
she would put it to good use if the price was right and also sing your praise.
There is something about a Brunton that makes it a legacy piece. I had Jim
Quinlan's old Brunton which I gave to my son who put it to good use in college.
Hopefully, he will keep it alive and hand it down to some deserving person
some day.
Email me off list.
Thanks,
Geary Schindel

I thought this was relevant as I know there are many wealthy cavers who have
been hoarding gold and whom this might impact.

WTF has 10oz of gold under their bed? And even if you did, what stops you
selling it in multiple 9.99oz quantities?
You should be ashamed of posting such nonsense on CaveTex, Fritz.
