Bev Shade and Peter Sprouse have been the keepers of the PEP cave index. It's always a good idea to talk to the cavers that have been working an area for years before boldly going where many others have been before. Jerry. In a message dated 6/14/2010 11:18:28 A.M.

And another thing about tags.... Traipsing about the woods around Conrad Castillo - my little group came across a cave at the base of a cliff. It looked like a good one. You could see it drop off to the left and there were stals on the ceiling. It had a tag, so its assumed its already been all accounted for. We're looking for "new caves" after all. However - who's holding the index? All we had was a little number and there was no information about these tags at the field house. Best we could do was to write down the number and perhaps get Peter Sprouse to look it up for us when we got back to Austin.... A system. Indeed. Not a real good solution in that time and place. Of course these days, the entire index and all the maps could be put on someone's iPhone. I digress... -WaV
