The third weekend in October is the place I mark in my calendar each year. In my time, we have only had it on a different weekend once, so the third weekend seems natural to me. As far as location goes...Paradise Canyon is nice, but, without water, I would look for another place. Flat Creek is, of course, always awesome. No one seems to be jumping on the Guadalupe River RV Park band wagon. I thought that was a great place. And it had water!

Gill, you should know better. You should never say never. I always used the third weekend of October. It was easy to find on a calendar and easy to remember. The only time I changed it was because of a conflict with PC.

Disabuse yourselves of that idea. It was "the weekend nearest to the 15th of October." Mostly it was the 3rd weekend of the month but sometimes it claimed the 2nd weekend. There were 2 or 3 times when some other conflict (a hurricane, for instance) caused the date to be pushed forward or backward. The "weekend nearest the 15th" worked out really well during its tenure. Just FYI, the underlying purpose was to not be in conflict, date wise, with the TAG event in Alabama in order that cavers could attend both events if they wished but, more importantly, so that Bob & Bob and other vendors could attend both events, hopefully, so that Texas cavers would have hands-on access to top quality caving gear. At some point Bob quit going to TAG and came only to TCR and few, if any, cavers attended both events so the whole point became sorta moot. --Ediger On Wednesday, January 7, 2015 3:26 PM, Diana Tomchick via Texascavers <[email protected]> wrote: Keep it on the weekend of October 15-18.I loved the TCR that was held at Honey Creek Cave, but Paradise Canyon is cool, too.Diana* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Diana R.
