Hey Josh. I got an update from Gustavo, who is on site as part of the expedition.
They say that their biggest problem right now is that the local authorities are not willing with provide food without a clear indication of who will pay for it. There was no mention of equipment needs or personnel needs. There was a medical evaluation of the patient and he may have a fractured vertebra. If there are no further delays the maneuvers to get the patient out of the cave should begin tomorrow afternoon. - Fofo. > On 22/09/2014, at 10:49, Josh Rubinstein via Texascavers > <texascavers@texascavers.com> wrote: > > Ed, > > Any further news about this rescue?
