Geo-tourism on Provo

hmmm. many different definitions of this term so I will just use it as "Geologic Features" tourism.  Finally checked out "The Hole" on Providenciales this past week. It is basically a sink hole in the limestone.

Be careful.

It is worth a visit and 15 minutes should do it.

Real Coal Mine Tourism

yes, of course, the blog from yesterday is my annual April Fools report.  Appropriate,  Right?

Anyway, you can tour coal mines.  Most abandoned mines are probably not safe for visitors, but like a cave, if you have lights and are safe, it can be fun.

Want to go some place warmer?

And can't afford the flight to the tropics?  Go caving.  Yeah, that's right go to a cave.  Since caves tend to be the same as the area's average temperature, caves can be cool in the summer and (relatively) warmer in the winter.

Locally you could try the Clarksville Cave south of Albany NY.

If you do get to the tropics, try this dry cave on Middle Caicos called Indian Cave.

And for info on this one, try this site

Clarksville Cave, NY

I asked my friend Mike to lead a trip to the Clarksville Cave in NY and today, we ventured over to it (about 2 hours west of us). An expedition of 6 took on the fun challenge, and all survived!

Visit this site for more info on the Clarksville Cave.

" Clarksville cave is a popular horizontal cave in Albany County, NY. With about 4800 feet of passage and three entrances, Clarksville is surely the best-known and most-visited wild cave in the Northeast.

The cave is open from 7AM to 11PM to the general public. The preserve includes a changing area and informational kiosk."

You'd figure you could escape the heat by going into a cave. Not this one and the skeeters were killer! Shot this clip returning from my surveying Daniel's Cafe on Sustainable Island Restaurant Tourism.
