Cavers,

Huge thanks to the 15 dedicated volunteers (Cavers and Master
Naturalists) who came out this weekend to help pick-up trash and dig
out a large portion of Niche Cave on the Texas Cave Management
Association Rolling Oaks cave preserve in Northwest San Antonio.  A
surprisingly large number of people turned out despite a massive
downpour all morning and thick, sloppy grounds. Because of your
efforts, we removed toilets, sinks, tires, pool slides, rebar, and
literally tons more (about 3,000 lbs total). We also dug out
approximately 450 cubic feet of trash and debris from Niche Cave. A
special thanks to Fran Hutchins for hauling all the trash away and to
Joe Mitchell for arranging an excellent post-work caving trip for all
who volunteered. 58 volunteer were hours logged.

Thanks to: Donnie Roland, Gregg Williams, Corey Burrell, Clay
McCafferty, Tom Florer, Linda Palit, George Veni, Allan Cobb, Rick
Corbell, Jill Orr, Monique DeVries, Dienna DeVries, Joe Mitchell,
Kayla Mitchell, Bennett Lee

There is still plenty of debris in Niche Cave waiting for the next
work day so everyone will have a chance to get in on the fun. Keep an
eye out for an article with pictures.
