Chronicles of the
Old Reading Grotto

In Which We Go to the California Convention
June 3rd to September 6th, 1966

By Squire C. Lewis
Published by the author 1993, 8.5 by 11 inches, 146 pages, softbound


A delightful road-trip book, illustrated by many Charlie Loving cartoons. Three months and three days, 16,822 miles. Not a whole lot of caving, but a lot about cavers of a certain era. The trip did include visiting Xilitla, SLP, with the legendary Lew Bicking during the survey of Sótano de Tlamaya. Poorly printed covers are scuffed, but otherwise fine condition.
