[Texascavers] Question about caving in Mexico

2012-01-14 Thread Speleosteele
For the present I'm chicken to go caving in Mexico. I haven't been since  
April 2010, now almost two years. I miss it, and it saddens me to not be 
caving  there. But my areas of interest, Tampaulipas and Guerrero, seem 
particularly  dangerous with rampant criminal activity by increasingly bold and 
armed  hoodlums.
 
So Diana Tomchick and I went caving in China instead over the Christmas  
holidays. We'll probably go there again at the end of this year.
 
I've heard about a trip to Golondrinas and other big pits over the holidays 
 by cavers from Virginia. There are Brits in Huautla right now, and Ernie 
Garza  is with them. Where else in Mexico have cavers gone recently? Did 
anyone have  any problems? 
 
Just wondering.
