Bil, while you’re correcting spanish, don’t mess up the German Höhle is correct, not what you have — needs to have an umlaut (two dots, option u on mac) over the o

Most of the cavers that attended Mexpeleo 95 ( at Sierra de Alvarez ), went swimming here. Here is a nice video showing the swimming hole from the air. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGLOmug3F8M I recall a caver on this list-serve saying that they had once explored the underwater cave at the bottom of the sinkhole. The water in the cave appears to be too murky to entice me to want to dive there ( if ever learned how ). I have been swimming here twice, but each time we were in too big of a hurry, and were mostly just there to relax from the long drive before heading to cave. I think the image below is an aerial view of the area: http://www.segam.gob.mx/images/FotosANPS/mediapoli.png Here is a link on Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/yNXza5tVNs82 I do not see any easy to find karst information specific to this particular sinkhole and the cave, so there is an idea for someone to write an article. There was some kind of big fire there on Christmas Eve, but I could not find any info on what effect it had on the "parque." On a not-so related note, It has now been years since I went on a caving trip in Mexico. I can only guess 15 or 16 years. I really miss it. One of the many bizarre ironies of my life, is that I went way out of my way to marry a girl from down there, ( in a gamble ? ), that she and I would enjoy traveling together down there. My daughter will soon be 15 and I have never taken her to any of my favorite places, especially those in Mexico. Now that she is a teenager, she thinks her old geezer dad is too boring to hang out with. The idea of a road-trip with her is about as likely as going to the Moon. I never imagined that aspect of my life would be so disappointing and stressful. All I can do for the time being, is watch YouTube videos and take deep breaths, although I am trying to force myself to drink a Kombucha Ginger drink instead of a Dr. Pepper. I am going to have to find a nice waterfall soon and sit for a long time. About the only thing keeping me sane at the moment ( if that is even still possible ), is my recent obsession with learning about Linux computering. _______________________________________________ Texascavers mailing list | http://texascavers.com<http://texascavers.com/> Texascavers@texascavers.com<mailto:Texascavers@texascavers.com> | Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/texascavers@texascavers.com/ http://lists.texascavers.com/listinfo/texascavers _______________________________________________ Texascavers mailing list | http://texascavers.com<http://texascavers.com/> Texascavers@texascavers.com<mailto:Texascavers@texascavers.com> | Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/texascavers@texascavers.com/ http://lists.texascavers.com/listinfo/texascavers _______________________________________________ Texascavers mailing list | http://texascavers.com Texascavers@texascavers.com<mailto:Texascavers@texascavers.com> | Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/texascavers@texascavers.com/ http://lists.texascavers.com/listinfo/texascavers ************************ Katherine Arens Phones: Office(512) 232-6363 ar...@austin.utexas.edu<mailto:ar...@austin.utexas.edu> Dept.
