Charles "Squire" Lewis kept a log of his travels the summer of the 1966 NSS convention in California. Three people from the Reading, Pennsylvania, Grotto (say Redding) made a prolonged road trip that included the convention, caving in Xilitla area and touristing in Mexico. Along the way they made two visits to Austin, as well as visiting Hunstville, Alabama. Three months and three days, 16,822 miles. Highly amusing tales of two cave bums and the general caving scene in the good old days.
It was published as a book, with many cartoons by Texas caver Charlie Loving, in 1993 as the "Chronicles of the Old Reading Grotto." I have put a PDF file of the book on the AMCS web site at http://www.mexicancaves.org/other/squire.pdf. Check it out. Both the AMCS and the TSA still have paper copies for sale (AMCS, $8, see http://www.mexicancaves.org/other/otherpubs.html). I can take copies to UT Grotto meeting, or they'll be at TSA and TCR. -- Mixon ---------------------------------------- Lead me not into temptation.
