All,
Just in time for your three day weekend, the second quarter version of The
TEXAS CAVER has been posted to the Members Area by our very own near and dear
web extraordinaire, Butch Fralia.
This is a huge issue (32 pages, gasp!), chock full of LOTS of photos, great
trip reports (two of which were south of the border), lots of mud, a Convention
wrap up, and award winning photos!
Just in time for ICS!
Be sure to also peruse the three back issues of the TEXAS CAVER from 2001,
2002, and 2004 recently added.
There's some great reading from the past in these issues. Stories such as the
purchase of the Deep and Punkin Cave property, a daring rescue of an injured
caver in Mexico, CARTOONS!, and a lot of past history and articles from present
day cavers and from some who, unfortunately, aren't with us any longer.
Hours of great reading have been added and I would like to thank Carl K. for
submitting them and Butch for posting them for posterity.
If you're a TSA member, but haven't yet joined the Digital Revolution, it is
extremely painless to do so.
Go to http://www.cavetexas.org/members/ and sign up and enjoy the back issues!
Please remember to select how you want your TC: mail or digital.
You can still opt to receive a hard copy TC, but will have to wait until late
next week, at the earliest, to receive your latest newsletter via snail mail.
The Members Area continues to expand very well and we currently have grown to
85 members, with 45 opting to receive their TC digitally. This is nearly 50% of
the total membership.
Not a TSA member? No problem! We still would like for you to contemplate
becoming a TSA member. Send me an email for your complimentary TEXAS CAVER and
see what you've been missing.
Or, you can visit the TSA website at www.cavetexas.org and become a paid member
and/or become an online member of the TSA.
There now are a total of 15 issues of the Pulitzer worthy TEXAS CAVER available
for your reading pleasure!
Enjoy and have a great and safe Memorial Day weekend, especially those at and
on their way to/from Deep and Punkin!
Mark Alman - TSA Chairman and TEXAS CAVER Editor
