Bill Stone's presentation at last night's University of Texas Grotto
meeting on the 2017 Cueva Cheve expedition and the new discovery of
nearby Cueva Juniper (not Jupiter) was indeed beyond description.
The planning, skills, and teamwork of a top-notch international crew
surpassed seemingly impossible challenges.When exploration in Cheve
did not meet expectations, a team member dug open another cave
(named after a Juniper tree, rare in that area) that exceeded their
wildest dreams. (Well, maybe not Bill's.) The entire trip was documented with superb photos, videos, and narration by Bill. The logistics, fortitude, time, and self-reliance required are comparable--and in my opinion, exceeded--an Everest expedition. Thanks to Bill and all of the team--including 10 or more who attended the meeting--for sharing this world-class endeavor with the UTG. And they aren't finished yet--stay tuned for 2018!

_Excellent_ talk by Bill Stone at UT Grotto meeting last night on the 2017 Cueva Cheve (and, as it turned out, Jupiter or CL6) expedition. It was not Periscoped. Did anybody record it?The Association for Mexican Cave Studies would like copies of its own (e.g., .mp4 files) of the fairly numerous UT Grotto programs on Mexican caves that have been Periscoped. I know in theory they will be available there for anyone who wants to figure out yet another web site probably designed no better than most, but I'll feel a lot more secure with copies in the AMCS's own archives, especially if they eventually get put on the AMCS web site (www.mexicancaves.org). Links to external sites tend to break. If someone knows how to capture videos from Periscope, please do so for us. We already have .mp4, .ts, and .mov files of talk at UT Grotto meeting August 3, 2016, by Fernando Hernandez about his trip to 2016 expedition of Proyecto Espeleológica Sistema Huautla (PESH), originally recorded on Periscope, about 45 minutes. I think that came, in one of those forms, from Diana Tomchick.
