Precipicio
I will jump in on this recap of a favorite old cave.
Last time I was in Bustamente Canyon 6-8 years ago on Runi, Ron's and
Strickland's yearly clean up trips in Palmito I ask about the status of
Precipicio and it was closed, owned or run by the same organization that
operates
Correct

The last clean up trip happened in 2006, 13 years ago during presidents day
weekend.
If theres enough interest maybe the project may be resurrected.. I know
that was the argument I used to get off trail a few years ago when a
certain someone kept everyone from going outside the tour boundaries.
The city of Bustamante rewarded us with a feast every year we participated
in the clean up. The leadership of the caver group met for planning
sessions at Rune Burnette's house. They included Orion, Gill, Nancy,
myself,(I was somehow designated the founder of the mission) Terry Plemons.

Charlie,
It was my recolection that the project was stopped because the cave was to
be remodeled, (tunnel built, visitor center, plastic walkways, road paved,
etc) and handed over to the state's secretaría de turismo. Being in the
hands of the state means more bureaucracy but Im fairly certain it
I recall some talk of a new entrance being tunneled at Gruta de las
palmitas at a more convenient elevation. Some of "improvements" like this
sidnt seem to be in line with the goals of the annual clean up efforts or
vision of that team. Or did i make that up?
