Re: [Texascavers] Mystery Cave of the Month
DavidAre you referring to The Rio Grande Valley as the Concrete Valley? Or is this somewhere else other than?I live down here but I live nowhere near a "concrete city". Luckily I'm out in the country away from any city. Reynosa has had some violence in the past week. But things calm afterwards but then start back up the following week. If your strapped for money maybe you ought to try playing in the 8-liner machines. There is a town near me that has about 10 game rooms where you can gamble. They're not supposed to give out cash prizes but they do. And they can get away with it. But they've been trying to close them down but to no avail. But have a good trip.

Re: [Texascavers] mystery cave near Ocampo, Tamps.
Thanks, Bill. I do have Vasquez in the deep pit list. There's a write-up (including map) about the cave in AMCS Activites Newsletter 14, pp. 36-39 (1984). I had considered that as one possibility for the mystery cave, but the fiasco trip wasn't mentioned in that article.

Re: [Texascavers] mystery cave near Ocampo, Tamps.
Mystery cave was, I think, Sótano de Vasquez. I found something a few pages on in the same issue of the Texas Caver that clarified. The map shows entrance drop as two drops with a ledge, 17 and 84 m, which together agree pretty well with the rough depth in the article about the fiasco trip: too many people, too many of them inexperienced, the best cavers foreseeing chaos and bailing, people at the bottom of the pit with no ascending gear Fun browsing through the old Texas Cavers.

Re: [Texascavers] Mystery cave
I would assume this is because of the number of strictly non caving related posts. What ever happened to the"OT" site for this purpose? As a dedicated old Spelunker from the 50's and 60's, I enjoy the varied subjects posted on Cavetex. After all, it seems as much for entertainment as for information. If the post is of no interest I just hit delete. When and if I revisit a favorite cave of my youth I will take a picture of one of the entrances and post it as my submission for mystery cave of the month. David, for an "Armchair Caver" as you profess, you have seen/visited more caves than most "Cavers" and the details you remember are incredible. Keep the good stuff coming. Since "Retiring" to my little Dripping Springs paradise, my dance card is so full it is difficult to make time to read and delete the caver postings. For anyone interested, I have a great property here for camping and communing with nature only 24 miles from Austin.
