I first went to Carrizal in 1967 and there was already a sign on the building there between the 2 entrances warning of the histo danger. I was raised with chickens so have a high histo resistance. We went caving there a dozen or more times with small and large groups and I don't recall that

Jerry -- Thanks. If I find any that the AMCS doesn't already have and the scans in the KIP archive are inadequate, I'll let you know. There well might be some from ~1970, when the AMCS Newsletter wasn't coming out regularly but there was a lot of Mexican caving going on. -- Bill

In the process of looking for maps of Mexican caves in the Karst Information Portal archive of Texas Cavers, I checked the issues older than 1972. (I posted link to corrections to 1972 and later yesterday.) The only cave map seriously defective in the earlier issues is the centerfold map

Bill wrote should be scanned and replaced in the TSA or TSS archive of issues, though probably no need to mess with what's in KIP. I strongly disagree. First, KIP makes the Texas Caver and other publications available and easily discoverable internationally, not just those who know to look in
