I was betting a few readers here have never seen the McBride's Cave rescue
documentary.
So I was going to post a link to it. But to my surprise, it is nowhere
to be found on the web. I must
not be looking in the right spot. I dug really deep in the web and
couldn't even find it on VHS or
Wonderful stories! This is the sort of historical information that
the list is made for, along with reports about current trips and
events. Thanks to all.

I enjoyed reading this story.
I think it beats any of the Gerald Moni stories.
However since one of Moni's was made into a YouTube documentary, I think he
wins.

A little known part of the story, and rightfully so since not much happened,
was that after the rescue team flew to Mexico, those of us left in the States
had the understanding that if we didn't hear anything by a certain date that a
second wave of rescuers would fly down to assist. Since word w

Back in the ’70s (and even today) there were persistent
rumors that the CIA was secretly running drugs to
finance its operations. I think cavers may have played
into that perception, at least in the eyes of a couple of
American tourists. Here’s how.
In 1978 Tennessee caver Chris Kerr broke his leg
Isn't is sacrilegious to refer to a caver vehicle without using it's name
and its most notable spec such as gear-ratio ?
Wasn't Gil's truck something like The Oztotl with the granny gear on the
stick, or was that somebody else.
Someone could write an interesting article showing pictures of these
Yep, you’re right, Bill, It was Ediger’s truck. I remember that Gill Ediger,
Terri Treacy, Jerry Atkinson, and I flew down with the truck.

That was actually Gill Ediger's truck from Austin, and I drove down from
Harlingen, TX, to help on the rescue. We spent 3 days getting Chris out. He
was shot up with Demarol by a young med student/doctor/caver, who did a
good job taking care of him. Splinted his leg, but at one point Chris had

Tennessee caver Chris Kerr fell in Sistema Purificacion in 1978 and fractured
his femur. Cavers from Austin drove Terry Sayther’s caving truck up into a
military C130 cargo plane and were flown to Victoria, Tamps., Mexico to rescue
him. The spot where he fell is named Kerr Plunk.

I hope you all get a chance to reflect in the holiday and also get outdoor
with friends and family and hopefully even something caving related.
I have to work late Frday night in Houston and plan to sleep it off
Saturday.
My teenage daughter is spending 3 days with friends and I haven't a clue

Folks,
Early registration ends on May 31. This is shaping up to be a great convention.
Should be cool with one of the best campsites ever. If you have the time, take
an extra week and visit Yellowstone, Glacier, or even drive up to Banff or
Jasper. Bring your Passport.
Hope to see you there.
