Now we are getting somewhere! Aside from the Zetas, etc, why is the place so unpopulated? Bad dirt? Wretched vegetation? Thorn scrub never stopped a Mexican or a cow, and neither does cloud forest. Are these mountains older than the Sierra Madre Oriental? Different orogeny? Subsequent

Re: [Texascavers] Green place in Mexico

Since everybody is all excited about Mexico, all of the sudden, I thought this would be a good time to bring up the tiny-iddy-bitty fued going on between the Trump administration and the Pen~a administration. What impact do you think this new tension could have on the safety of tourist in the
