Cave shaft – Canada, originally uploaded by Mic2006. In the same area where we discovered the Tooth Tube, a cave that we have been clearing of a glacial plug of clay, we have also found numerous deep shafts, aligned along joints they tend to be deep and narrow with fluted sides and moss around their [...]

crawling in ooze, P – Lake, originally uploaded by Mic2006. Consider that you haven’t done any caving in Ontario until you’ve explored some of it’s beautiful marble passages that are scattered through the rock of the Canadian shield. Long awaited, much anticipated, promised too many times and backed out of it too often. I am [...]

Flow stone in new Ontario Cave – Wasteland Waterway We went further yesterday than in the past and ended up passing a spot that JC called the Aerofoil – a plate of rock that sticks way out into the passage. I wiggled underneath this aerofoil and got a glimpse of passages on beyond. It’s more [...]

Here are 2 links to video that I took this weekend. Both these short clips are of Pilgrim’s Crawl, an Ontario cave that is yet to be followed to it’s end. I’d say the biggest problem are the tunnel’s scallops, it’s like crawling against a cheese grater and my cave suit shows it after doing [...]

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 [...]

It rained all night last night so JC and I slogged through the marshy forest – clumps of gooey clay sticking to our boots, only to find the entrance to Wasteland Waterway completely submerged, though it was taking everything that was washed in to it there was no airspace for a caver. Important point – [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
