TCC Winter Conference
The Texas Cave Conservancy would like to invite you out to the second
TCC Winter Conference, February 22-24, 2008. The Cedar Park, Texas conference
is an opportunity for you to get out that winter coat, tent, sleeping-bag and
do some camping, caving, learning and even some partying. The cave CO2 levels
should be at their lowest this time of the year. It is a time for caving.
This annual event is directed toward new cavers. Even the old folks are
welcome.
Camping (with a campfire) is available at the TCC Headquarters. In the
event of a real winter we can make space for cavers inside the TCC
Headquarters. Breakfast will be available on Saturday and Sunday. We will
have an evening meal Saturday night followed by a special presentation and a
party. Some of the TCR cooks will be making Mexican food. Caving is available
all weekend.
With a ten- dollar donation for the old- time cavers and free for
cavers that have been caving for less than five years, how can you go wrong?
This event will be what we make of it. If you want to hold a workshop, cave
ballads, slides, or what –ever, contact us. If it is not fun, it probably is
not worth doing.
The events will start Saturday morning at 9:00 from the TCC Headquarters.
Information on tours, workshops and caving will be available at the TCC
Headquarters all day Saturday. Don’t miss visiting the Twin Creek Conference
area with a 100 year old log cabin, springs, year round water, tall trees and a
great shelter cave. The following are just some of the activities planed for
the conference. Most of these activities will take place on Saturday.
Caving-Friday-Saturday-Sunday.
