"The SKTF Cleanup at Miller's Chasm has been cancelled.
It was scheduled for december 8,2005 but was cancelled."

My caving days are over but I couldn't resist finding a Tennessee Chasm reference for Bumping the thread.

An hour or so ago, I passed through the deep cuts of I 26 that exhibit great swirls of pink and white and green with giant darkgreen eyes included. The cuts are several hundred feet deep and the swirls are very large. The various colors of the swirls are penetrated by long sinusoidal white veins varying fron 2" to several feet in amplitude. The cut face resembles a cake batter partially mixed.

If you ever cross Sam's gap into Tennessee from NC on I 26, pay attention to this treat of geologic spectacle.

The first pic reminds me very much of New Hampshire.

Here's a gorge of sorts from there:

Here's the website of my favorite chasm - Chasm, B.C. - just off Highway 97.

Here's an extract:

"A spectacular display of colour illustrates the park's rich geology in the Chasm Creek Valley and part of the Bonaparte River Valley. Successive lava flows form layers in varying tones of red, brown, yellow and purple, which have been revealed in the steep lava-layered canyon walls through erosion over the past 10 million years.

At the end of the last ice age, 10,000 years ago, water from the melting glaciers carried so much silt that it carved the 8 km long, 600-metre wide and 300-metre deep Chasm."

There is a photo gallery.

Happy New Year, one and all!
