A disapponting conclusion – I’m to fat to go much further IMG_7898, originally uploaded by Mic2006. Just a quick post as promised – a conclusion to the newly discovered cave – “Dead Mouse”. In one sense, you did not miss out to much here Greg. The cave soon changed to something less explorable, but [...]

We resolved to poke our heads in a short distance and see what [...]

Lake of the Dahlias somewhere beyond P1010079, originally uploaded by Mic2006. Here it is – over the hump.

Abandoned Mine in Northern Ontario P1010856, originally uploaded by Mic2006.
