The story, presented as Ted’s personal journal of discovery and back-thoughts is intriguing.and creepy. Ted Caving Page is an early blog-type series of pages which chronicle a spelunkers’ discovery of a virgin cave passage in some unknown location in the US. I came across an interesting story the other day…a story which starts off rather innocuously as “ Ted’s Caving Page“.
