A Cave to Valdez?

Ever since I was a young child I've heard of this cave.  Jo Ateah told me at great length once about a young woman who thought she'd found it.  

Every summer growing up, we'd "do" the caves.  It all stopped one year, when we realized (probably Dad & Pat Hayward rather than us kids), that the rocks had shifted, and we could no longer go through number Seven, coming out through number 8.  After that we started thinking about what might happen if those rocks shifted when we were in the caves.  Consequently they lost their allure.  

So it was with real interest that I read the following article.  The chasm outside of the caves is a beautiful, cool place to sit on a hot summer's day, but you'll never see me going into the caves again.  The last I heard the caves belong to the Nature Conservancy of Canada and are looked after by VIU as a protected habitat for a species of long-eared bats.
