IMGP0851, originally uploaded by Mic2006. As possibly mentioned before I went to Mexico (Tulum) and having experienced some of their truly incredible caves I had said that JC and I were intending to dig out the blue barrel sink and enter Wasteland Water way partway along – in particular after the wet crawl through the [...]

IMG_8624, originally uploaded by Mic2006. This section of the Wasteland waterway is past the blue barrel sink, it is where the cave air is now from well below the surface, camera lenses fog and the water is noticeably colder than what is coming from the surface. We were refering to the wide expanse before this [...]

Today’s push in Wasteland Waterway, a new cave that JC and I recently discovered has thus far exceeded our best imaginings. As you can see the entry crawl is wet and it gets wetter and more laborious as you go deeper in. We passed the blue barrel in the sink – our bailout route if [...]

Though we were disappointed by the flooded entrance to Wasteland Waterway we decided to check a nearby sink and in hearing noise JC and I burrowed away and opened a karst window in the bottom of what looked like a meteor crater – the roar from within was encouraging. The picture above shows what my [...]
