Texas Cavers I am pleased to announce that this Saturday November 18 we start (again) the Hill Country State Natural Area Cave and Karst Project. (Saturday Only)
The objective for this weekend is to send out small teams to verify that existing cave location data is correct, and if not, to perform a local search pattern with hopes of acquiring cave location. Further information will be provided at Park. Meeting Time & Location: 9:30am at HCSNA Headquarters (Bandera Tx) Total number of participants: 10 - 12 persons (3 - 4 teams) Requirements for participation: 1. RSVP to Rob Bisset ([email protected]) 2. Participants must sign some required waivers and other TPWD documents (provided at Park) 3. Somebody in each Team must have a GPS and know how to use it. A GPS will not be provided. Also, each team must have the ability to photograph cave opening. Bring a camera. 4. You must be a member of our caving community. If I don't know you, or if somebody can't vouch for you, don't come. Basically, it's not open to public or extreme caving beginners. This is not a recreational caving trip. We have work to do to provide the Park with accurate data on existing cave locations. Once this is done the Project can move forward with surveying existing or new caves. Let me re-state this last part. As this project begins, I must keep the numbers of participants low and the objectives narrow. As we establish a working relationship with the Park and it's personnel the number of participants can grow and we should be able to accommodate those with less experience. Please have patience. I will be looking for co-leaders to help with this project in case I can't make a scheduled date. Regards Robert Bisset - Chairman Texas Speleological Association [email protected]
