Abandoned mine in Quebec – Bristol Mine P1020339, originally uploaded by Mic2006. Had an interesting time last weekend. I went to see the old abandoned Bristol Mine along the banks of the Ottawa River. The “town” of bristol mines still exists and the old mine property is still obvious for its enormous heaps tailings.

Lake of the Dahlias somewhere beyond P1010079, originally uploaded by Mic2006. Here it is – over the hump. I pressed through this low slot and on to the passage beyond – an elliptical tunnel that wound off into gloom. Its hard to imagine but somewhere further on the helictites become so dense and interwoven that [...]

Dangerous Ontario cave IMG_7591, originally uploaded by Mic2006. The thing with Marmora is that you need to get a feeling for the sinking and resurging channels.
