[Nmcaver] TSA Spring Convention

[J. LaRue Bills]

New Mexico Cavers all,

For your "What's happening next door" calendar:

2007 TSA Spring Convention,  April 13-15,  Albert, Texas

We will be at the historic Williams Creek School, built in 1897. Talks will 
be held in the original stone schoolroom and salons will be in the "new" 
section, added in dogtrot style in the 1950s.

The grounds are available for camping.

Albert is located just 6 miles south of Stonewall, on FM 1623.  Stonewall is 
on Highway 290 about half-way between Fredericksburg and Johnson City.

In the vicinity: Luckenbach, and the LBJ State Historic Park.

Dog lovers/dog owners: dogs are welcome, although Gillespie County requires 
dogs be on leash and the school is owned by Gillespie County.

There will even be some parking for self-contained travel trailers and RVs.
