"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.

OK, I know this doesn't really count because it doesn't have "chasm" in the name, but my favorite chasm is Thunder Hole at Acadia National Park:
