Speaking of programs Gary,
This video seems quite interesting, even to Cavers.
Should we show it at a meeting, Terry

Howdy Caver,
You are cordially invited to attend the Underground Texas Grotto
meeting - Wednesday November 16, 2011 from 7:45 PM-9:00PM
University of Texas Campus in 2.48 Painter Hall (156 West 24th
Street, Austin TX 78712) http://www.utexas.edu/maps/main/buildings/pai.html
Aubri Jenson will be presenting - Hydrogeology of Fais Island in
Micronesia
She was involved in a scientific trip by WERI (Water and
Environmental Research Institute of the Western Pacific) to Fais
island in Micronesia in 2006. Fais is a small carbonate island with
a thin, shallow aquifer and supports a population of nearly 300
people. Minor fresh water springs and cave development occur along
the coast, but drinking water is primarily obtained through rain
catchment. Aubri was there to assess the need and availability of
groundwater resources on the island in the aftermath of a typhoon.
Come check out the great program and for the fun and fellowship with
Austin Texas Cavers.
For information on Underground Texas Grotto activities, please see
www.utgrotto.org
Officer contact, trip reports, event calendar, and new caver
training links to beginner trips or vertical rope training are
available.
Before the meeting, take advantage of Sao Paulo www.saopaulos.net
for happy hour specials. This area is the best place to park and
meet folks walking over to the meeting. Then after the official
meeting, we continue with the decades long tradition to reconvene
for burgers, beer, and tall tales of caving at Posse East. www.posse-east.com
The UT Grotto Program needs you, the caver with photos and a story
to share about your adventures, scientific research, or something
else really cool. Contact me.
Sincerely,
Gary Franklin
