By cooperating and coordinating our effort we can make caving better in Texas. Most cavers have to have equipment which, except in extreme cases, comes after discussion with other cavers and from equipment vendors. Most conscientious cavers fill out cave report forms about the new caves they explore and map. Trip reports should also be published in the Grotto's publication and a brief summary sent to The Texas Caver with Grotto News. Other cavers read those reports and share your information - talk about it with other cavers and learn more about Texas caving.
Grottos are local caving clubs and can provide recruitment and initial training of new cavers.
All information collected is kept by the TSS as a repository of Texas cave information. The TSA convention offers cavers an opportunity to learn more about caving and, along with the Texas Cavers' Reunion , gives them a chance to meet other cavers and to have a good time. Bringing all of these varied entities together for the benefit of Texas caving is the reason that the TSA exists. Please support it by joining and encouraging other cavers to join. Annmarie Thank you.
