Caving

As I visit caves and get pictures, I will gladly share them with you.  If you have comments, you can send them to me but don't ask me how to get to the caves that I feature.  I will gladly invite you along with us on a trip if you can supply some basic clothing, batteries and footwear but as a conservationist, I don't provide directions to caves in an effort to protect them from damage, intentional or not.

I am a member of the York Grotto and the Mid Atlantic Karst Conservancy.  These organizations are dedicated to the safety of exploring, science and protection of caves.

I suppose you are wondering what happened since the last entry above.... I got busy with other things and didn't find time to continue to update this.  One of the things I got busy with was a project I called the "Online Caving Experience".  It offers an educational and thorough tour of a beautiful cave through a virtual reality caving experience.  Click here for details.

Want to know when I'm going next?  E-mail me.

I have also been to Deer Field Cave, Barton's Cave, North York Cave, Ickesburg Cave, Lemoyne Cave, Tytoona Cave, Road Cut Cave, Frustration Pit, Carnegie Cave, Hershey / Coy Cave system, Walnut Bottom Cave, a cave that no longer exists but was located along route 11 just north of Duncannon, a small cave along the Yellow Breaches Creek near Sheepford Road in Lisburn, PA and probably a few I'm forgetting.

The Whitaker Center in Harrisburg is showing an IMAX movie called Journey Into Amazing Caves.  The York Grotto was invited to have a stand there for which Mark Engle built the grotto a squeeze box.  It's pretty fun to crawl through but don't wear a white shirt.  See how low you can go!
