Thanks Stefan! I was wondering the same. A few years ago we went with the Monterrey Tec caving group to Carrizal, checked both the water and dry levels and had a blast.
We figured it would be an awesome cave to bring newer cavers since it was so cool to have a both hot and cold streams in a cave. In our first trip it was all experienced cavers (with probably higher resistance to histoplasmosis), we didn't know that Carrizal had a high risk of histo, and no one got sick. When we came back with a group of newer and more experienced cavers, all the newer cavers got histo, one of them badly. Too bad, because it's such a cool cave! - Fofo > On 11/11/2014, at 17:26, Stefan Creaser via Texascavers > <texascavers@texascavers.com> wrote: > > Dear ? > > Please sign your messages. > > Stefan > - stefan.crea...@arm.com > > -----Original Message----- > From: Texascavers [mailto:texascavers-boun...@texascavers.com] On Behalf Of > via Texascavers > Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2014 7:12 PM > To: texascavers@texascavers.com > Subject: [Texascavers] Carrizal > > The last time I went to Grutas de Carrizal was 2008.
