Gaston Santos father was the Gov. of SLP and owned the ranch across the street
from the hotel in Tamuin. We had his permission to cave but had to extra
careful because he raised Toros for the corrida. He also had student protestors
shot in SLP and was fired.Gaston Jr was a bull fighter and a pal of Foxey and a
UT grad.

Now we are getting somewhere! Aside from the Zetas, etc, why is the place so
unpopulated? Bad dirt? Wretched vegetation? Thorn scrub never stopped a Mexican
or a cow, and neither does cloud forest. Are these mountains older than the
Sierra Madre Oriental? Different orogeny? Subsequent up igneous oozing? Salt
dome? Nascent volcano? These are reputed to be "sky island" mountains but they
seem too low and insufficiently isolated for that to be the case from a
biogeographical perspective. Has anyone seen any cute little rattlesnakes
there? Any other weird endemism? And why is Zacaton so deep? Is the whole area
subsiding or is sulphuric acid rising up from Hell? After Trump takes office
will it be possible to apply to either the Zetas or the Gulf cartel for
political asylum? If so how can they be reached? Sleaze In a message dated

There is, or was remnant cloud forest there.

That valley El Picharo is certainly a curious feature. I wonder if it is an old
caldera. Whole region looks virtually uninhabited, which might (or might not)
make it a place for people up to no good to hang out. Surroundings seems to
have well-developed surface drainage. -- Mixon
I wonder if it could be an old meteor crater?
