Longhorn Caverns State Park Dig, Saturday, February, 4th – This will be occurring the first Saturday of November, December, February, March, April, and culminating in May. The staff of LCSP and the TPWD is very enthusiastic about having the TSA back and involved and plans several surprises for us later on. Some of the tasks we have in mind will occur above the cave, in the cave, and WAAAY back in the cave. They're listed below and, if interested, contact me offline, expressing what are you're interested in:
* Ridgewalking, surveying, (depends on cavers familiar with the Park layout participating).
* Trail "Rebuilding". Trails were washed out in past years and need to be rebuilt.
* The Lumbago Alley Dig - Help look for more cave! Gerry heading this up.
I need folks with experience in building trails. There are a plethora of other projects the park has in mind for us, but, this is just the start. (They didn't want to overwhelm us!).
We will be meeting at the Visitors center at Longhorn Cavern State Park 9-ish on Saturday.
Please bring your own water, food, and camping gear, as camping will be available at the LCSP Picnic area both Friday and Saturday nights. Contact Mark Alman (Mark.Alman@L-3com.com)
There now are Park hosts that live near the picnic area we camp, so we need to keep noise at a minimum.
Contact Mark or Lyndon, if you plan on attending!
