You people along the central I-35 corridor are spoiled, spoiled, spoiled! You think little of driving 500 miles (or more!) to Mexico but you complain if you must travel more than 50 miles to a Texas caver function. Those of us living in the "sweet spot" between prime caving areas in Texas and New Mexico (and the Metro cavers who have long rides almost every time) are used to a 200 mile drive for a convention, project, BOG, TCR, or just a good party. It's the price we pay for the other benefits we receive by living in "west" Texas.
I'm with Bill. Those of us on the "fringes" certainly don't expect the functions to be held in a place convenient to us each time, but every once in a great while it sure is nice to have a shorter trip. In recent memory, Ft, McKavett was a real treat. If Locklear can make it to Vermont, how can you miss anything in Texas? Which location is most central to nearly all the Texas caver groups?

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...
