[Texascavers] road between monterrey and saltillo

2010-07-02 Thread Nancy Weaver
Chris Nichols and I returned from Real de Catorce on Monday June 28 - 
our first time on the newly opened toll road.  On the drive down we 
noticed that the road cuts were so new that the wire retaining mesh 
had not been hung.  On the drive back, workers were swarming on the 
cliffs setting the mesh, perhaps in anticipation of the coming storm. 
A very few were using vertical devices, most were dangling with 
multiple body wraps halfway up the faces.  It was an amazing sight to 
come around a corner and see 5-15 danglees struggling with the 
enormous and heavy rolls of metal.  Only a fraction of the road cuts 
were secured on Monday.  My quess is that vast quantities of rock 
came down in the rains.

Both the toll and the other road from Monterrey to Saltillo are closed, both
ways
