Ontario in the Winter – Canadian caving trips
Got to watch for polar bears and sasquatch – I heard a caver just got eaten.
Here I am in one of my favorite Ontario caving spots looking for more tunnels. Winter is often a good time to look for caves as you can see the breathing holes and [...]

Cuevas de Bellamar
P1010076, originally uploaded by Mic2006.
