Eight of us met Bill, our all-knowing-guide, at the beginning of the long, dusty logging road into Cave Land. Bill took us through Chicken II, a standing-room passage way leading to interesting geology. After which a short drive took us to Scallop Falls Cave. We spent slightly over an hour winding single file through narrow, curving, scalloped marble passages, with water running through them. We scrambled, manoeuvred and slithered up to the top of the falls. The beautiful limestone cave features and the contortions to navigate the route were impressive. We debriefed together over lunch at Bill’s new campground. As the adventure drew to an end, the participants felt a unified sense of accomplishment. .
