March. For Baha'is, it's minus the Zoroastrian symbology but still the 1st
day of spring. It also ends our Fast.

What we need is to shut down the banks, govt. and schools the Friday
before TCR. That way, everyone could get there in plenty of time,
instead of having to roll in from Houston, Dallas points beyond in
the middle of the night, we could have a proper, federally
sanctioned 3-day party.
Yo cavers,
I've heard from a handful of you that you are planning to participate in the
TSA and TCR supported project at Honey Creek Cave, Texas' longest cave, on the
weekend of April 11 - 13. We're going to fix up the tower over the shaft
entrance to the cave on Saturday, and cut cedar at

Everyday is a potential caver holiday as far as I'm concerned. Much
more flexibility that way.
Happy Oztotl Day,

Yes, turning in the car permit is a major pain. The that the place you
turn it in is sometimes not on the direct line to the border crossing.
But a bigger problem for cavers who go to Mexico frequently is that it
is hard to tell whether the current trip is the last one you'll want
to make
Actually, Bill, internet return might even be simpler. There could just be a
place or form on line where you entered your permit number and they could
cancel that particular permit electronically. You couldn't ever use that number
again. Whatta you think? From: bmixon...@austin.rr.com To:
While internet return might be simpler, what the mexican government really
wants by asking you to turn your permits in, is to make sure that the
vehicle gets out of the country/does not stay in Mexico so I dont think
internet returns will be possible any time in the near future.

James Hunter of the Pajarito Grotto in New Mexico says that they can now
get vehicle permits and windshield stickers for Mexico at the Mexican Consulate
in Albuquerque. That is apparently also true in Austin and Dallas. That would
be a tremendous time saver at the border. Even better,
From the March 18 Pajarito Grottomeeting minutes:
James reports that we can go to the Mexican Consulate in Albuquerque to pick up vehicle importing stickers now, so we don't have to wait at the border crossing with all the paperwork.
It's apparently even easier than that. It looks like you
You do have to make sure your previous permit was turned in when it expired,
that seems
to be the main source of headaches at the border crossing from what I've

Hi,
The last time I was at the Mexican consulate in Austin to get a car
permit (before Christmas, long wait), there was also an official
running around whose sole job seemed to be canceling permits. There
was a (short) line of cars outside of the consulate getting their
permits canceled.
I've crossed into Mexico at several different crossings, including
Brownsville-Matamoros, McAllen-Reynosa, Laredo-Nuevo Laredo, and Eagle
Pass-Piedras Negras. There were different degrees of difficulty at each
crossing. Far and away the easiest crossing was at Eagle Pass-Piedras
Negras, which we

Or their laws. No government is. Periodically there are lists published
of antiquated laws in the U. S., like some state still requiring a man running
ahead of a motor car to warn
this is part of what I read on one of the links Mr. Minton provided, this
law should still be enforced :-P
