Raves and Reviews

In this book Doug Thompson takes us to underground places that even few cavers have explored and shows us their marvels--helicites, aragonite, draperies, columns. Best of all, in this compellingly personal book Thompson candidly shares his own fears and anxieties as he becomes initiated into the strange subsurface world.--Robert Julyan, author of Hiking to History: A Guide to Off-Road New Mexico Historic Sites
