Death Bell Cave; Real Horror Show, originally uploaded by Mic2006. We descended by cable ladder into the cave that we call the Death Bell. That morning we had no idea what we would find.

I found this unique piece of primitive graffiti [...]

Spanky’s Paradise is certainly one of the more exciting cave discoveries that I’ve been involved with. Of particular note are the formations and also the knowledge of other tunnels in the area. Spanky’s is under an escarpment and there are several buried joints that follow into this ridge, all along the same orientation as Spanky’s. [...]

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 [...]

Ontario cave Admittedly, there is way more down there than we have presently discovered. A good example would be the interior of the Bruce Peninsula – some of it public land, some of it private. Various indicators suggest that from the smaller tunnels, their sediment blockages and lack of surface flowing water, there must [...]
