The convention officially starts in just 12 1/2 hours, yet there is a ton of activity going on.
Tonight, my neighbors cooked some of the most delicious food ever tasted at a caving camp. Venison and wild turkey marinated and roasted over the fire. And they had some cajun beans and rice with a German sausage I had never tasted before. We need this guy to oversee the cooks at some of our cook-outs. His name is Phil Laroue from the Iowa Grotto. An ultra-light buzzed the campground today. There must already be 1,000 people camped out. Which is way too much for the gravel road. All the traffic is sturring up dust. There are some traffic snarls. It is like grand central station. Last night, the temperature was colder than I was planning and a lightweight sleeping bag would have been better than what I brought. Somehow I slept with a tick most of the night. I think ticks and horseflies are bigger and nastier in Indiana than in Texas. The internet room is now full of cyber-cavers. I recommend that the Texas NSS Convention plan for having chat-rooms in both the camp and the meeting center. And Wi-fi will be needed everywhere. 2B continued ...
