[Texascavers] more YouTube speleo-stuff

There is really too much to talk about when it comes to speleo-stuff on the internet. Here is a relaxing video to put you to sleep of a cave that cavers used to go to back in the day, just south of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ar3L9Lg-EpA Around 20 years ago or so,

Re: [Texascavers] Sumidero Boqueron

Mr. Mixon was asking about Boqueron. I quickly skimmed thru YouTube and found 2 videos in Spanish and one below in French. The link below might have been the video I saw in 1985: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JwYMeGwJhQ Which truly inspired me to want to get down there and go caving.

[Texascavers] NSS Library

Over the weekend the NSS Library was moved to our new location in Huntsville, AL.  Plenty of room, lots of shelves, including shelves which easily open and close on tracks,  new carpet and  no leaky roof, plus the room is constructed to be fire resistant. This is the largest caving library in

Re: [Texascavers] Mr. Mixon's question

I can only guess there is stuff on YouTube in Spanish and French about the awesomeness of the karst near Zongolica, Veracruz. https://youtu.be/G0pZsNokJHE I saw a French VHS video-clip of cavers in Sumidero Boqueron at an A.S.S. meeting in October of 1985. The river cave in the YouTube link

[Texascavers] Regarding crops in karst areas

In December of 1985, I got to tag along with 4 experienced cavers in a spectacular karstic area about 1/4 mile or less upstream from the Sumidero Boqueron ( which we could allegedly hear roaring from our camp along the river bank. ( The nearest village was Comalapa, Veracruz about an hour hike

In addition, 10+ previously unidentified pit and walk-in entrances were located in various parts of the region that require future investigation. The potential for unexplored cave passage is enormous, and as the locals rotate fields in and out of cultivation, new leads appear. Diana

Re: [Texascavers] Shuanghe Cave in the news

That red and white giant flying squirrel (or Chinese giant flying squirrel) is fairly common. Gavin Newman's ~45-minute caving documentary "China, Beneath the Wall" contains a couple of minutes of footage on the capture and "rescue" of one of them from a deep karst canyon or shaft. Since the

Re: [Texascavers] another cave-action-thriller movie

Believe it or not, that 563-character URL in the message about the coming cave fiction film actually works and produces a photo. Where on earth do such things come from? So does the link to the film trailer, of course, but it is so short and choppy I can't get any impression of the movie--not
