[Texascavers] An invitation
I would like to invite you all to go on a virtual drive in Reynosa, Mexico. The link below is a Google Street View of Magdalena's house in Reynosa. Those images were taken at least 5 years ago and that is her brother sitting to the left. It is no where near this nice now. https://goo.gl/maps/ADNcr7fjm9F2 You can explore her neighborhood easily by using the map program. But again, most of this neighborhood has gone down the tubes since Google visited here. I think the little green house to the east ( been abandoned for 4 years ) is available for $ 65,000 USD which is way too much considering it's abandoned condition. My brother-in-law claims bizarre animals roam thru the underbrush there ( I think he was describing a possum ). If I do not get my act together, I may be living in Magdalena's part of the house here someday, assuming I can remain on some kind of relation with my estranged-wife. I like to joke with her mother that I am still waiting on the dowry which was supposed to be a cave in the Sierra Madres. Her family has already started planning our daughter's quincenera which is still 3 years away. That is just crazy. I will be having to visit this place more often in the near future, mostly for holidays. I wish there were caves nearby, and then maybe some of this suffering would make sense. The house is an electrical death-trap.

[Texascavers] Webinar Invitation: Join us for The Mysteries of Easter Island Caves
The Mysteries of Easter Island Caves Join us for a Webinar on January 10 [http://img.gotomeeting.com/g2mimages/webinar/themes/basic/button_registerNow.gif]https://www4.gotomeeting.com/register/353722487 Space is limited Reserve your Webinar seat now at: https://www4.gotomeeting.com/register/353722487 This presentation will discuss our current findings, interpretations, and future directions for cave research and conservation on “Te Pito o Te Henua” (or Navel of the World). Our efforts represent the first study to investigate both the biology and archaeology of Rapanui caves. The natural and cultural history of caves has received little attention on Easter Island (known to Polynesians as “Rapa Nui”). Given the long history of forest conversion and other intensive human uses, the current landscape is vastly different from what the first Polynesian settlers observed upon arrival circa 1200 CE. Today, less than four percent of the over 400 known arthropod species are either endemic or colonized the island without man’s assistance; however, our recent discoveries of several new arthropod species suggest some of these organisms may be relicts of ancient native ecosystems. Although early explorers and missionaries encouraged the Rapanui people to search for and remove artifacts from their caves (many are curated in Museo Antropológico Padre Sebastián Englert), vestiges of extensive human use prior to European contact remain. Our efforts represent the first study to investigate both the biology and archaeology of Rapanui caves.
