Thanks, Bill. I had already stared a similar message. As I recall, the cliff entrance is actually overhung, so I doubt if you could see it unless the twists and turns in Google Earth would do it. By the way (and definately off topic for those of you keeping score) the last itme I stayed at Hotel Taninul after rapelling into the skylight entrance to Ventana Jabali was the time the ex-special forces Viet Nam chopper pilot and his renta-wife companion were there, on his way to fly the jail break in Mexico City. I think I met them, because I though to myself "couldn't the guy have found a prettier woman?" How about that for Cave Trivia!! Ediger missed another opportunity. Your choice - the cave, the chopper, or the woman.

Ventana Jabali is 6 or 7 km north of there, and, while the entrance is large, I wouldn't expect it to show up on a vertical view. The known caves nearest that quarry are those in the Monos area. -- Mixon --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com
