Jim, Mark is a geology instructor at Laredo Community College and an experienced caver. He did his thesis on hydrogeology of the “See My Shovel System at UTSA and worked as an intern at the Edwards Aquifer Authority. He called me asking for some help on that date this morning but it’s the same weekend as the BOG meeting and also your project at Ezell’s. I recommended that he send out an email to Texas Cavers asking for some help but don’t think he was signed up as of this morning. I told him I would post it to Texas Cavers since his post to the Bexar Grotto email server didn’t get any takers. Mark beat me to the posting. As a point of note, the average age of the NSS is just over 50 years old. To keep the organization alive and growing, we must invest in youth that will carry on exploration, conservation and education programs for the next generation. I appreciate Mark’s effort to help youth that are interested in caving.
If anyone is available and would like to help, I’m sure Mark would appreciate it. He has been to Deep on numerous occasions and I’m sure will do a good job.

I’m planning a field trip with three teenage high school students from Laredo. We plan to visit Deep Cave over Spring Break. Our plans are to enter the cave on March 8. Right now, I'm the only caver in the bunch. Two of the three have been in Robber Baron and did quite well. I was hoping that someone might volunteer to help. If I get hurt in the cave for some reason, I would need someone who could get us out --- and, hey, there's the helectite room -ouuuuu!!! I have three: * Nathan Thorp 16 yrs old * Jose Cardenas 17 yrs old * Terry Roach 17 yrs old I'll have all the paperwork giving permission and the medical releases, similar to what I had when we visited Robber Baron. I've advertised on <bexargro...@googlegroups.com<mailto:bexargro...@googlegroups.com>> but haven't had any response yet. -- Mark Childre Geology Instructor Department of Natural Sciences and Kinesiology Laredo Community College West End Washington Street Laredo, TX 78040 markchil...@gmail.com<mailto:markchil...@gmail.com> mark.chil...@laredo.edu<mailto:mark.chil...@laredo.edu> _______________________________________________ Texascavers mailing list | http://texascavers.com Texascavers@texascavers.com<mailto:Texascavers@texascavers.com> | Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/texascavers@texascavers.com/ http://lists.texascavers.com/listinfo/texascavers
