Good morning, Texas cavers, On February 13 we had a great turnout of properly equipped and spirited cavers to help deliver cave diving gear to the upstream HS sump, six hours of travel from the shaft entrance, of our state's longest cave. Thanks again to everyone who was there. However, we aborted the trip just an hour into it because the water was higher than expected.
We have rescheduled the trip for March 13, with a second trip to be held on April 3, to retrieve the dive gear. This is orginal exporation you will be supporting. Cave divers Jean "Creature" Krecja and James Brown will do a dive on March 20th through the 1,435 foot HS Sump, traverse about 1,000 feet of air-filler passage only they have seen and mapped, and dive a second sump, which has not been entered yet. We need more people for the March 13 and April 3 trips. You will need a wetsuit, which can be rented from a scuba store. Here's who I have down so far. My apologies if someone is planning to be there and you're not on my list. I've been travelling a lot with my job lately, and I may have failed to get someone on the list who has contacted me. MARCH 13 James Brown Sandi Calhoun Jared Fuller Gerry Geletzke Kristina Hager Jean "Creature" Krecja Bill Steele Ellie Thoene Diana Tomchick (Would like to have 24 cavers, so have 13 to go) APRIL 3 James Brown Sandi Calhoun Michael Cicherski Ben Hutchins Creature Niki Lake Ellie Thoene Drew Wendeborn (14 to go) If you're an able caver, this the trip for you. If you're worried about getting cold, you won't, because you won't be waiting on the divers. You will go there, turn around, and head back to the entrance. The trips will be around 12 hours long. Join us, Bill Steele Irving, Texas --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
