I don't know how up to date Google aerial photos are but, check out the coordinates below and zoom in on the area that looks like a cave at
22.072457,-98.881416 I believe that is a cave known as Ventani Jabali, and if so, it may be the lower entrance. Note how close the large mine is coming to the cave. The good news is that maybe you can drive up there, and camp within a short hike to the deep drop, if you can get permission. This mine is going to get bigger and eat up more of that beautiful hill, and there is little that can be done to stop it. When was the last time any cavers did the drop ? I know some Virginia cavers did it back around 93 or so. Has anybody closely looked at new aerial photos from the El Abra. Sure does look like there are a ton of sinkholes up there. I recall an old AMCS map, showing about 30 known deep pits in that area, and several serious caves, some of which were visited during the 1st Mexpeleo in 1989.
