From Jean Louis Lacaille Múzquiz, [email protected], comes the
following request for old photos and other information. I've never
heard of such a video. If anybody knows anything about it, let Jean
Louis know. And please pass this request on to others who caved in
that area in the old days but might not see this e-mail list. Sounds
like a worthy cause....-- Mixon
At present, I work at an interpretive ecological center located at
the base of the mountain in the town of Gómez Farías and in the near
future, I would like to acquire the whole collection [of AMCS
material] for the center's library; specially, those newsletters
with information concerning the local caves (Sierra del Abra and
Sierra de Guatemala areas). I have always been interested in getting
a copy of a film/video that I heard/read was done at Sótano de Joya
de Salas (in the eighties' trips maybe?). It would be great if I
could get/buy a copy/DVD of it and show it to the people of Joya de
Salas sometime in the future. if you want to check information on
the CIE (Centro Interpretativo Ecológico) and you have a facebook
account, search for "Cie Tamaulipas". There are cavers who used to
cave in the area of the Sierra de Guatemala during the sixties and
seventies and I guess that a few of them must have "old photos" of
Rancho del Cielo, the little mountain towns and lumber mills of
those years; I would like to get/buy any images of the "lumbering
epoch" of the El Cielo area and set up a photographic exhibit of
those years at the center. I already have several of those "old
photos" but there aren't many because the locals did not use to take
photographs at that time (and we never think that our present will
be an interesting past for others). I know this task could at some
extent be difficult and time-consuming, but I would be willing to
pay for the effort at a reasonable price...
