Here I crouch in a wonderful tunnel of banded marble. The stream drops down from a wooded gorge in the forest and flows along to a resugence a short distance away. We had been warned to be careful by a local man of some ambiguous religious persuasion. We had met him striding along a lonely country road in a lilac robe and skullcap – various iconography hanging from his vestments.
Apparently logging trucks had crossed over the top of the cave about two years ago and much of the entrance had caved in. We saw little of this supposed damage and traversed the tunnel with fading lights. The water beneath me is illuminated by my portable fluorescent lantern.
