The author of “Caving in Ontario”. Pay no attention to that picture, they took my Scotch away and I got a little grumpy. I thought that it might be advantageous to the prospective book buyer to understand a little about my motivations in writing the book “Caving in Ontario; Exploring Buried Karst” and so you [...]

crawling in ooze, P – Lake, originally uploaded by Mic2006.

IMGP0810, originally uploaded by Mic2006. This is JC as he and I wiggled our way on deeper into this unexplored Ontario cave system. We have a mapping planned.

wasteland waterway – Ontario Cave, originally uploaded by Mic2006. Well as much as I have used the post title before, it comes as no surprise that it should be used again, because if you keep on looking, you just keep on finding. As seems apparent both JC and I are two stubborn dogs who just [...]

Intersection of entry tunnel and the first passage – Broken Boat, originally uploaded by Mic2006.

Main passage – broken boat cave, originally uploaded by Mic2006. This is the more spacious passage that JC and I entered after the solution tube entry crawl into Broken Boat Cave. You will notice the roof is pretty flat – whether by wear or rock slippage, I can’t be sure at this time. The [...]

Jeff in Broken Boat Cave, originally uploaded by Mic2006. JC and I have recently found a cave in a relatively well traveled area. It looks like just a simple undercut that is easily discounted. At the time I was tired and waited while JC pushed it. Needless to say we were both pretty excited when [...]

Rovers Cave – Bruce Peninsula – Niagara Escarpment Admittedly, when you are in the entry cavern looking up towards the Rovers Cave main entrance it is a little reminiscent of a crater pocked moonscape.
