I would like to solicit my fellow CaveTex-ers for any tips, suggestions,
map of the cave, other sites to see,
I have 2 suggestions:
1) Go to the Mexico page on the TSA web site. There are maps and other
information and an article I wrote about a hundred years ago regarding the
Bustamante area.
2) Always keep in mind that Mexico has States, just like the United States
has States. When writing about one of the several towns named Bustamante in
Mexico and you want to distinguish it from the town of Bustamante in Texas
or one of the others in Mexico, you will need to simply use the State name
after it. Just as we use Bustamante, TX, it is necessary to use Bustamante,
NL to be clear of which Bustamante is being referenced. Additionally, to
say Bustamante, Mex is as non-standard as saying Austin, USA. See the
problem here? There are lots of Austins in the US and there are lots of
Bustamantes in Mexico. But even if there were a town with a unique name in
either country, to not include the State before adding USA or Mexico adds
confusion, not clarity.
Good reading--and have a good trip,
