So, I guess, based on zip code density, that Austin really is the center of the caving universe. ;)

I was curious about Texas so contacted the Manual Editor Kelly Smallwood, who referred me to Bob Hoke. Bob has been compiling data for the NSS Members Manuals for years, and promptly provided me with statistics regarding current NSS members as of Feb 16, 2016. I've selected some, with my comments, that I think will be of interest to Texas cavers and other list subscribers. Thanks Bob!
