I am here in Brenham and just met the camp manager at Camp Happy Hollow, and we discussed the Cookout.
If anybody wants to know the details, e-mail me privately. As far as I can tell, he has no problem with cavers doing the same thing we did last year. He is the kind of old-timer that still does business on a hand-shake, and he didn't let me down last year, so I have no reason to doubt him this year. The event is the weekend before Memorial Day weekend. Location is a few miles EAST of the town of Burton, Texas in Washington County. The key elements to the event are a fun, inexpensive family-friendly camping for cavers and their families at a nice remote campground. This will be an opportunity for all lovers of caves in east Texas to gather that for whatever reason do not make it to events in the Hill Country. ( I have invited cave divers, geology students, naturalist, non-active NSS members, etc. that I could find in southeast Texas to this event, via e-mail and Facebook. ) I am optimistic that those who come will be glad they did, as that was the reaction last year. If you live within a 4 hour drive of this event, it should be worth attending. But there are plenty of cavers that live less than 2 hours away, and I would like to see as many of them come as possible, even if it for just a few minutes at dinner time on Saturday evening. David Locklear co-host of the Cookout ( still looking for another co-host ?? ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
