Captain Canuck #12 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Yes, most likely home of the Sasquatch on this end. And on the other end....home of the Yeti! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishopshodan Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I remember this. I don't think they were allowing visitors and/or where trying to keep it a secret location for a while. Anyway, cool and spooky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cromeslab Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Not too far from where I live.Should be interesting to see what kind of creepy things live in it once they get to explore it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxi Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 It's amazing that they are still discovering these caves in this day and age. In Vietnam they discovered, what might be considered the largest cave in the world (depending on how you measure).....in 2009. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_Sơn_Đoòng#Discovery A local farmer found it in 1991, but couldn't find his way back to it. He stumbles across it again many years later, and eventually officials confirm it's existence in 2009. You can do a guided tour for $3,000 USD, which would be an amazing experience. Fewer people have been there than the peak of Everest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
189lb enforcers? Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 I spend a lot of time in helicopters in the coast range up around Atlin in the extreme NW part of the province. I’ve lost track of how many openings I’ve seen in the limestone mountains in the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
