Jerry, Thanks for sending that.
Bill, any info in the AMCS files on caves in that area?

No, Logan, AMCS (or at least I) doesn't know anything about caves near
Arteaga, Michoacán. The caves we know about in Michoacán are farther
north, near the Colima border. It is now possible for anyone to search
for most AMCS information on the web:
maps of caves in Michoacán:
http://www.mexicancaves.org/maps/Mich.html
indexes to Activities Newsletters 1-15 and 16-25:
http://www.mexicancaves.org/nl/1-15-index.html
http://www.mexicancaves.org/nl/16-25-index.html
paper archives
http://www.mexicancaves.org/library/archives.html
Et cetera.
I also asked the global index of everything on my Mac. Arteaga,
Coahuila, keeps popping up, but that's pretty much it. -- Mixon

Thank you Bill.
I was wondering, since I haven't heard about caves in that area either.
I just checked the geologic map of Mexico and right at Artega,
Michoacan, it's all granite, but there appears to be some limestone
relatively close, maybe it's there that the caves are.
And maybe because of the issues in the area no cavers have checked them.
Or maybe it's like in other areas where a talus cave or shelter is the
"bottomless cave" or the one where "gold was hidden in the Revolution
time and is still there, but whoever finds it has to take it ALL out at
once, or nothing at all."

Jill Orr is leaving town for a few months and heading to Europe. We're going to
throw a party in her honor at our house on Sunday around 4 pm and dinner around
5. We'll have the grill going and will be providing burgers and dogs. This will
be a pot luck so if folks want to bring a dish, it would be appreciated. we'll
have a cooler with some adult refreshments. Dress if formal unless you want to
be comfortable, than wear whatever you want.
Can someone repost this to the Bexar Grotto email list. Everyone is welcome.
Address is 11310 Whisper Dawn, San Antonio, Texas 78230. Home phone is
210.479.2151.
Thanks,
Geary

A map of that area:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=32.71593,+-96.88913+%28Coordinates%29&iwloc=A&hl=en
Go to satellite view (lower left).
That creek has almost been obliterated by development,
but that small section you pinpoint still exists.

When I was a young kid in 1974, I found a limestone boulder in a creekbed
in south Dallas, that had an interesting fossil of a fish in it. The fish
was about 2 feet long, and the boulder about 4 feet in diameter, It resembled
a barracuda.
The coordinates of the boulder are:
32.715929, -96.889127
I haven't seen it in 40 years, and would bet it has been vandalized.
It might have been my vivid imagination as a kid, but I have always
wanted to return there and look for it.
So if you are near there and bored, and looking for something to do, here is
your chance.
It was next to that creekbed, that I did my first sewerlunking.

Cavers! Don't forget that the TCMA fundraising auction will be held this
Saturday at the TSA Spring Convention. Don't forget to bring your money,
AND bring your old caving/camping gear to donate. I am also looking for at
least one more lovely auction assistant, to show off each item and work the
crowd. If you are interested, contact me directly. The auctioneer and his
assistants will be doing the "Thrift Shop" thing this year.

Folks,
Just a reminder that we're having a party in honor of Jill Orr leaving for the
socialist wonderland of France in a few days. The party starts at 4 pm at the
Schindel's house. This is a pot luck and we have meat for the grill along with
some adult and non-adult beverages. Bring something to go along if you like.
Please don't spice your dish using the new Colorado State Herb.
In light of the party and by popular demand from previous party goers, we are
suspending the rule regarding getting on the roof for this one special
occasion. I warn you that a metal roof and pollen is a pretty slick combination
so we may have a contest to see who can stay on the roof the longest (bring
your first aid kits, crutches and SAM splints).
In addition, there may be some Dutch Oven Dessert Debauchery this evening and
Sue and Aspen have made some Creme De menthe brownies (which are always
outstanding). Hope you can make it to this most outstanding Fiesta Social Event
of the year.
Call for directions if you need them.
