Mystery cave was, I think, Sótano de Vasquez. I found something a few
pages on in the same issue of the Texas Caver that clarified. The map
shows entrance drop as two drops with a ledge, 17 and 84 m, which
together agree pretty well with the rough depth in the article about
the fiasco trip: too many people, too many of them inexperienced, the
best cavers foreseeing chaos and bailing, people at the bottom of the
pit with no ascending gear....
Fun browsing through the old Texas Cavers. See, for example, the
report of the discoveries beyond the ledge in Mayfield Cave in the
April 1956 issue.-- Mixon

Ack! Christmas decorations already. This might be a good time to spend
a couple of months in Saudi Arabia.
