Canadian Cave Books
Journey to the Center of the Earth

Dale Chase


In 1959 a 13 year old boy and his brother entered a cave.
This experience led to a life long love of the secret world
that exists beneath our feet. This book is filled with
gripping tales of discovery, exploration, adventure and
tragedy. Plus humor, bozo moments, humility lessons, and
some crappy caving. Over 225 images. Takes place mostly in
Indiana and on Vancouver Island.
