Subject: [Texascavers] Cueva de los Tayos
Interesting article about “the world’s most mysterious cave”:
<https://www.outsideonline.com/2419910/journey-center-earth-cave-oilbirds>. The
article mentions cavers needing to get both permission from the locals and the
blessing of the cave itself, a scenario familiar to recent Huautla cavers. The
cave appears to be huge, but surprisingly a geologist was quoted saying that it
was only 25,000 – 30,000 years old. Also of note was that the recent visitors
rappelled in, but were hauled out by the locals—up a 200-foot drop!
