in my first years of Mexican caving esp on the tgiving xmas trips recall
running into odd groups of cavers from all over the US in random, cavey, towns.
It felt like the whole country was a vast playground for cavers.
and in 1965 on a family vacation at Hotel Taninul, which had a very guano odor
On my first caving trip to Mexico in December 1970 we ate at the Condesa in
Valles. It appeared that everyone there was a local. As we finished eating, a
guy around 30 years old walked up and asked in English if we were cavers. We
said yes and he asked where we were going. We had just done Sotan
I agree that the Condesa was a great Mexican hangout for many years. It
was _the _ place to meet before or after any trip to the El Abra in the
'70s. I remember one trip we were there and the telephone rang. It was
someone calling from the States for Bill Russell, and he was there!
Cavers used
Very cool writing and pictures.
Thanks,
