November 11 & 12 is the next Government Canyon Karst Project weekend. The park is now open to the public so there will be some changes. We will no longer meet at the gate. When you get to the park, simply enter by the park entrance. Take the first right. There may be a closed gate on this road but it won't be locked. Go through the gate and continue to the ranch house. We will meet on the porch at about 9:00. We will probably get organized and head out by 9:30. Directions to the park are below.
The Canyon is only open for day use. The caver campground will continue to be the volunteer campground by the ranch house. If you want to camp you still need to contact me because the gate on the ranch house road will be locked at night. Dogs are not allowed on the recharge zone trails - even on leashes (park policy). Directions to the gate of GCSNA. Find the intersection of U.S. 16 and Loop 1604 in northwest Bexar County (clearly shown on any state highway map). Drive 2 miles north on U.S. 16 to the third traffic light and turn left onto FM 1560 (there is a Shell station on the corner). Follow 1560 for 3 miles to Galm Road. (Old San Antonio city maps may show another Galm Road less than half a mile past the Shell. This road is now named something else. Ignore and keep on to the real Galm Road.) Turn right on Galm Road and drive 2 miles to the sharp left turn in the road. The gate to GCSNA is straight ahead. Enter at the gate and then take the first right and continue to the ranch house, where we will meet. _______________________________________________ Texascavers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.texascavers.com/mailman/listinfo/texascavers_texascavers.com
