Louis,
Again, the Texas Speleological Survey is ready and able to help you preserve
and conserve your slides and memories of your caving events. Tales of the
Peacock Caver are especially welcome.

In the 1979, I was in Europe and traveled along the Dalmatian Coast through

including Jon Everage, went caving on a ranch out of Copperas Cove. While we

The Texas Speleological Survey would like to know about caves in Texas that
you explore, map and photograph. The TSA of course would like articles. You
can find the cave and karst form on the internet at:

Really the best part of the Survive-in-a-Cave for me is the warning not to

There has been some talk lately on the mexican
listserve, of planning a big group trip to a pit called "El Popoca,"
in Veracruz.
This pit is number one on my list of caves to see, and has

bats, and some alledge that they have been found to sump dive into
undiscovered passages.
Some even claim their favorite hide-out is beyond the sump in

Other witnesses said they swim out of the Nacimiento Rio Sabinas?
