That was going to be my question...where would they sleep? I know Bass River has signs and pamphlets warning about black bears, but I have never truly believed there were any around (even though I DO believe in cougars in the pines, oh, my). Being from upstate NY, I could not imagine bears...

My mom came from Cuba and I grew up listening to stories of La Chupacabra. I move here to the pines many years ago and it's the Jersey Devil. Feels like home, hehe. Now it seems like La Chupa and Ole JD made hs way to Texas, lol...

If we are able to view it, I would say that the fields at Batsto or Atsion would be the best bet....

:rofl:

Everyone has their own preference for brands of handhelds. I personally prefer Garmin. Currently I own an Etrex Vista HCx. It has done me well. It is rugged and easy to use. The Vista was a little more expensive (around $300 when I got it) but you will find that there are cheaper versions...

I have an iPhone and use AT&T (it was the only provider that uses iPhones). My reception is great all through Wharton until I get to the Batsto area. I still get reception, but only one-two bars down there. But then again if I move a foot or two I can pick it up better...

WNS in Europe is definitely there, some say it originated in Europe because they are not dying there as they are here. They coevolved with the disease. An interesting quote about the syndrome from the CDC: And some great sites with info and/or opinions.... http://www.fort.usgs.gov/wns/...

Mike, I have been working on door prize donations.....I got some GREAT stuff lined up, hehe...

Nah...not brave....just got no sense.....

double post...

Never did wetsuit stuff, but would love to give it a shot some day. Always up for a new challenge, lol. I don't have a lot of access to caves and stuff either but there are plenty of places within a couple of hours of here to practice climbing and rappelling. I am predominately a rock...

How many people did you and Dar pull out????

:mrgreen:

Vertical access is my thing, hehe! We use a RAD system (grigri, ascender and etrier) and the rappel is great! Up sucks, however..... As a caver, you should probably learn at least RAD, it allows so much more access to places. In the cave below, we found a ledge with a 20 foot drop beyond it...

Hey Al! That was my first experience caving in WV/KY. I have been dying to head back down and do some more exploration of the Bowden cave system, but haven't had the time lately. I do know that they tried to dynamite a route from the Bowden entrance to the Bear Heaven entrance but never...

I'll play! I'm thinking we are going to get snow earlier than that....a white Thanksgiving for me.

I sent Indy a message and got his reply this morning.... With his permission I am quoting it here... "Hi, Maureen! The disease (or whatever it is) is alive and well and has spread as far as Oklahoma as of earlier this year. :-( Huge jump that can only be attributed to human carriers. And it's...

Great day with a lot of useful information and stuff going on at Atantic Cape Community College... http://www.atlantic.edu/program/academic/gis/2010GISDay.html We are submitting GIS projects for a contest that day and there are going to be a lot of vendors talking about how GIS is used in...

Al, as a caver also, we went as far as Kentucky to go caving and were still on the fringe of the WNS a year ago. At this point, you could go into the caves and had to make sure your ropes and gear were "washed". From what I hae been made to understand, the bigest spread is from cross...

EXACTLY!!!:mrgreen:
