--- Begin Message ---I know exactly where this is. It's about a half mile south of the Pecos on the Rio Grande. This is the old railroad tunnel. I've actually been in it in a Park Service boat in the late eighties. About four years ago I visited it again, however there was a floating cattail mat and brush choking the northern entrance.

--- Begin Message --- As a kid (1954-1960), I lived south of Uvalde. I recall going to Del Rio once with my folks and seeing panoramic shots of the old Pecos Railroad High Bridge. Anyone know if these photos are still around?

--- Begin Message ---There's a big cave rescue going on in eastern Tennessee right now. I know the victim - Dirk Siron. It's Sinking Cove Cave. Forty rescuers are in the cave.What I've been told is that Dirk was doing a pull down rappel and got on the wrong rope, falling off the end of it. It appears he's got at least a broken pelvis. A friend of mine is on the scene and texting me. He's at the bottom of the second drop now, and the estimate is they'll have him out in three more hours.
