Subject: [Texascavers] Honeycreek trip May
8-10
For those who haven't
heard there is a Honeycreek work weekend scheduled for the weekend of May
8-10. We will be camping at the spring beginning Friday
evening.
The focus for the
weekend will be taking down the cables, and some old fencing near the
spring
entrance. The owner also would like us to pile up the debris collected
along the fences so it can be burned when the burn ban is lifted. If we
are able to burn, we'll have one heck of a bon-fire. If there are extra
people available I'm sure there are other areas that need brush cutting.
I'd say bring gloves, chain saws (if you have one), and loppers. Some
extra tow chain would be nice as well since we'll be using multiple
tractors to
move the cables, and large tree trunks that are against the
cables.
Since this is
primarily a work weekend, I'd say all are welcome (even novices). Most of
Saturday will be reserved for the work projects, but we'll shut down by
4pm or
earlier, and those who want to go in the cave with appropriate team
leaders will
be turned loose. There have been several requests for through trips, QA
trips, etc. But don't show up late Saturday afternoon so you miss all the
work, and expect to go caving.
Saturday evening, and
Sunday morning will also be available for trip leader training for ICS
team
leaders. Bill and I, and possibly others will be leading several groups
Saturday evening and probably Sunday morning to different areas from the
shaft
entrance, since all ICS trips will use only the shaft
entrance.
We need about 25-30
cavers to help lead trips to HC during the ICS convention. ICS trips to HC
are scheduled for July 19,22,23,25. This is your chance to meet new
cavers, make new friends, and share one of Texas' best and its longest
cave with
others from all over the nation and world. Contact Bill Steele or Myself
if you want to help lead ICS trips to Honeycreek.
