As far as I know, dogs are allowed in Kerrville-Schreiner Park as long
as they stay on a leash. Check with the park for confirmation.

Subject: [Texascavers] Tales of caves and caving at the 2009 Spring
TSA
Convention
Don't miss the 2009 Spring TSA Convention, held at lovely Kerrville-
Schreiner State Park! Come and enjoy the camaraderie of your fellow
underground amigos while listening to the following Saturday
presentations:
George Veni – “Fragile Earth: Sinkhole Causes, Risks and Management”
– hear about the recent large sinkhole collapses seen in New Mexico
salt dome karst.
Lyndon Tiu & Mark Alman – “Longhorn Lowdown” – wherein Mark & Lyndon
regale us with tales of digging in Longhorn Caverns State Park.
Ron Ralph – "The Friendship Project: Announcing the Texas
Speleological Survey Cave and Karst Survey at the Amistad National
Recreation Area, Val Verde County, Texas” – a new TSS project with
the National Park Service.
Jon Cradit – “NSS Convention, International Congress – What a Great
Shindig Texans Can Put-On” – just in case you were wondering what to
do with yourself the 3rd and 4th week of July, Jon has some ideas.
Andy Grubbs – “Salt Domes, Karst and the Daisetta Sinkhole” –
everything you ever wanted to know about gels and thixotropy!
Ellie Thoene – “I Always Wanted to be a Caver, and Now I Am!” – one
woman’s inspiring account of her first year of being an honest-to-
goodness caver (not spelunker).
David Ochel – “A Beginner’s Walk Through ‘Walls’” – David offers a
cave-mapping introduction to a venerable computer program.
Jim Kennedy – “White Nose Syndrome and Texas Cavers” – What’s causing
the recent die-off of large numbers of bats in caves of the
northeastern U.S.? Hear about the latest research and recommendations
on how cavers can (hopefully) minimize the spread of the scourge to
caves in other parts of the country.
Peter Sprouse & Geoff Hoese – "Oaxaca 2008: Skeletons and Scorpions in
Dark Places” – don't miss this one, it's sure to be an entertaining
(and funny) talk by these two Austin-area cavers.
Bill Steele – “Sistema de Los Toros, Now the Deepest Cave in Nuevo
León” – sticky mud, beautiful formations, cave-diving in an
inaccessible resurgence, and friendly locals all added up to a
successful end-of-year expedition.
Diana Tomchick – “Las Grutas de Guerrero” – how a recent expedition to
this Mexican state managed to avoid drug traffickers and find great
future cave exploration potential.
Audience – “Caver Show and Tell” – open to anyone who wants to spend a
few minutes showing off a caving-related object. Items can be
something that you currently use and can’t go caving without anymore,
something that you used to use decades ago but younger cavers never
see nowadays, or some artifact that you picked up on a trip that has a
good story to accompany it. Don Broussard has already volunteered to
“bring an earlier item rarely used in the US yet still used in
Australia” so bring something to show and stick around and listen to
what others brought (hint: this might be a good way to publicize
auction items).
