Two times a year the Texas Cave Conservancy hosts an open house for the public to learn about caves, cave life and the aquifer as related to caves. They are held each year in April and in September on the Saturday closest to the 15th of the month. This year, the TCC CAVE DAY will be on Saturday -September 15, 2012. We have had over two thousand visitors at a CAVE Day. We always need cavers to assist in this public education effort. We never have had enough staff to present our best information. Each year, we have a number of cavers come out to the TCC Headquarters, stay in the campground and go caving here in the Cedar Park, Texas area. We never have enough caver support for CAVE DAY. We may have to hire non-cavers to assist us in this event in the future. Please let us know if you can assist. You will be welcome to stay at the campground and we will even buy food and beer that evening. To the cavers that have come out and assisted, we send our thanks. To those cavers that have assisted in the past and have been burned out by too few workers, we say Thank you-Thank you for being there when we really needed you. We will need workers to take visitors into both Avery Ranch Cave and the Dies Ranch Treasure Cave. Last April, we had over 2000 visitors inside the two caves. This time, we have been forced to conduct No publicity efforts except for our web site. That may reduce the number of visitors and make it easier for our staff. For additional information on CAVE DAY, check out our great web site at Texascavers.org/ Since we put ithe web site online in April 2010, we have had over 653,000 hits. Once again, to everyone that has helped make the Texas Cave Conservancy a great organization. Thank you.
