This is a self portrait of me, taken by me. This particular spot is in one of the first tunnels that I had found along the sides of the Crowe River. For reasons that I am unable to reveal though of which you may speculate, I call it “argument pit”. I suspect that this is an upstream connection to the caves that the Ontario caving community know as “The Marmora Maze Caves”. My first journey along the banks of the Crowe river was with Marcel St. Gelais and his girlfriend Cathy. I had been the first to crawl down this passage. It drops under a low escarpment and in entering I found to my great excitement that it runs along under the rock, parallel to the stream. Somewhere further ahead there is a narrow trench that cuts across the passage. Along this gully a freezing stream rushes from somewhere deeper inland. This observation and the discovery of much higher escarpments deeper into the forest suggests to me some as yet undiscovered caving possibilities. I hope one day to explore those passages it will likely be the adventure of a lifetime.
