Marvin asked me to post this.
The next Government Canyon trip - and the last before taking a break for the summer – will be held on May 7. May 8 is Mother’s Day. Come caving on Saturday but go visit your mother on Sunday. Tasks scheduled for this next trip are: - Work to get into the bottom of a virgin dome in Lost Pothole. There is always good airflow through this hole. This is a vertical trip. - Continue the dig in Dancing Fern Cave – also following good air. - Work on leads in the newly discovered Government Canyon Blow Hole. - Ridgewalk - Investigate surface sinks *Directions to the Government Canyon Karst Project:* Find the intersection of U.S. 16 and Loop 1604 in northwest Bexar County (clearly shown on any state highway map). Drive 2 miles north on U.S. 16 to the third traffic light and turn left onto FM 1560 (there is a Shell station on the corner). Follow 1560 for 3 miles till you see the sign for GCSNA. Follow the arrow to the right and drive 2 more miles to the sharp left turn in the road. The gate to GCSNA is straight ahead. Enter at the gate and then take the first right. There is an unlocked gate that will need to be opened and then closed behind you. Continue to the Volunteer/Research Station, where we will meet. We meet at 9:00 at the Volunteer/Research Station.
