James Reddell had planned to be with us as a special speaker, however he will be unable to do so. Some of his recent plans have fallen through including his trip to Egypt two days after the revolution started. Later this year, we will have a small party with James. E-mail us if you would like to be notified. We will video James at that time. Our speaker Saturday evening February 26, Mike Warton will tell us about his exciting cave career including his story about hijacking the garbage truck and adventures in Mexico. For those of you that do not know this Texas legend, this will be your chance to visit with him. Join us this February 25-27, 2011 for the fourth annual Texas Cave Conservancy Winter Conference. As usual, it will be held at the TCC Headquarters and Campground. While everyone is welcome, it is an event set up for new cavers. Toward that end, the TCC will present a Basic Caving Workshop on Saturday. Grottos, come on out and be sure to let your new cavers know that they are welcome. We will have camping, caving, workshops, a Saturday night meal and a party. This year our special Speaker after the Saturday night meal will be Mike Warton. Mike will provide us some info on his exciting caving career. Donations will be accepted, however, if you are a new caver everything will provided at no cost. Camping, caving and a great party Saturday evening will be some of the activities. If you want to set up a special event contact us. Start 2011 out with your caver friends, both old and new.
