Waterfall Wednesday. I explored the upper gorge of the Barachois in Cape Breton Island for some waterfalls and I wasn’t disappointed. Sure you have to bushwhack to get there and that road leading close to the river is an adventure in itself but the rewards are pure awesomeness.

The choice… hike about 6km with 1000 fr elevation lost to get to the “Eye of the Needle” in the Walton Glen Gorge in New Brunswick or watch this short clip! Better yet.. do both!

Back in early March, I was reading an old except from the 1890's on a geological survey. They mentioned a cave. The power of LIDAR made me choose an area (see attached with arrow) that would be perfect for the stream to carve out that "cave" described in the report. I was right!

The last and best video on discovering a pretty much under explored cave near Falmouth. I’ve explored a lot for caves both by researching old archives and also by bushwhacking and had never come across any information about this one!

If you know me at all, you know that I never stop exploring! In a day where I hit 5 under explored karst areas of the Stewiacke Valley, I actually found a brand new cave system. Finding caves is a lot harder than finding waterfalls so this is a rare event!
