Rio Secreto and Dos Ojos, partially underwater and dry caves, are within
the scope of our study in Quintana Roo where, over a 2-week expedition in
March & April, over 14 kilometers were surveyed in one extended cave
system--and still going. Watch for updates.

Hello Cavers!
I'm planning a trip to the shining Adriatic Sea for June, and was hoping to
link up with some cavers in the Balkans. I know a bunch of y'all have done
expeditions out in that part of the world, and was wondering if you could
connect me with any cavers in that region?
Best Regards,
~~Thomas

Here is a simple rule-of-thumb if you're planning to go caving outside of the
US and are looking for contacts. Go to http://uis.caves.org/. The UIS
(International Union of Speleology) is made of about 60 member countries,
including Croatia. Contacts for those countries as well as their national and
regional organizations are listed.

Hi George,
Thanks for the link. I definitely prefer a personal reference if I can get
one. "Crash Kennedy says that you're a good guy and doesn't steal the
silverware" or "Peter Sprouse says you can dig in the jungle all afternoon with
only your hands and boots," is always preferable to "I hear there's an American
that wants to come to my country," but I'll take what I can get.
I was given a grotto contact list for Hawaii last year, and I had literally
*zero* cavers write me back. I suspect a personal introduction would have done
me better :)
Best Regards,
~~Thomas

The Meadows Center for Water and Environment at Texas State University
is hosting a brown bag lunch (a talk to which you can take your own
lunch, or not) from 11:45 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. next Tuesday, April 22.
Alberto Nava Blank and Jim Chatters will talk about their work in Hoyo
Negro, a deep pit in an underwater cave in the Yucatan. The event is
at 951 Aquarena Springs Dr., San Marcos. I think that is the old
Aquarena Springs Hotel. -- Mixon
