Nice timing on this thread so close to Father's Day.
My first cave was Gruta del Palmito as well. My dad took me when I was 6
years old ('67).
I remember a long walk up the mountain, there was talk about mastodon
bones I was disappointed in not finding and what I thought was the
coolest thing ever - crawling over and under all that breakdown slope.
Reminds me I need to get my own kids back under ground soon.
Probably a good idea to call dad and thank him specifically for that trip.

Destination - Gruta del Palmito. Met my own future cave man on that
trip, and have never stopped wanting to go underground. Don't think
anyone ever wrote up that trip, either.
