From a 1979 trip report by Jim Eyre published in the magazine of the
Northern Pennine Club:
We arrived in Cuetzalan in fog and left in fog. However this is one
of Mexico's most promising caving areas. The place is like a giant
pepper-pot, with huge caves swallowing up rivers and, as yet, no
risings discovered. Mike Boon and Pete Lord have turned into a pair
of Mexican Eli Simpsons and are revered by the visiting American
cavers, who call them sir and touch their forelocks frequently when
addressing them. There was some talk of putting up a statue to Mike
Boon, but it was considered indecent by the local council and was
dropped.
The AMCS received permission from Boon last December to reprint his
booklet on his participation in the San AgustÃn rescue in 1980. The
article, nearly ten thousand words, is in AMCS Activities Newsletter
