Bill, We both have the same problem, you are too far west and I am too far east. Guess that's why central Texas works best for most. However, there are good caves and good locations in the western part of The Hill Country and the eastern part of west Texas. The newly opened to primitive camping Kickapoo Caverns State Natural Area 23 miles north of Brackettville might be a future possibility. Not only an impressive and easy cave but a meal and possibly a swim could be arranged at beautiful Fort Clark Springs Resort in Brackettville. Both the Nueces and Frio Canyons have beautiful locations if arrangements could be negotiated with private land owners who have caves, river frontage and good areas in which to camp. Jesse Lockhart in the Camp Wood/Vance area comes to mind. Garner State Park would be ideal if weren't for the hot tub, fire, noise and curfew restrictions. One of the most beautiful places on the Nueces is Eagle Ranch (Camp Eagle) where arrangements might be made and it is only about 30 miles from The Devil's Sinkhole and Rock Springs. There are other good sites for future consideration but 2011 is a long way off, (not). I am personally looking forward to this year's location. I have never considered taking my 2005 Honda ATV to a TCR gathering due to the limited area in which to ride but this year is the exception. Hope to see you there.
Fritz, a slow and sleazy rider. ________________________________ From: Bill Bentley [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, August 02, 2010 6:54 PM To: Fritz Holt; Texascavers Mailing List Subject: Re: [Texascavers] TCR sites But it is okay for us poor saps that live out in the western half here to have to have the time and expense to get there? Sounds a little m,essed up to me... But... With Texas being a big state presents its problems with logistics, I understand that and usually it is some place in the middle but every once in a great while it would be nice to a bit closer for us.... Not many of us go and maybe that is why? I don't know... Not many caves close by either so we have to travel...
