well that about it, good times hope you enjoy…

so was this like a bender inside a cave?

more like a binge…and hell yes, one of the best times you’ll have

part of the time in a cave, part of it in the powerplant

A bunch of dudes cave :gay:

agreed

How’d you make these cool lights?

after about half way through I was expecting a pic of somebody shooting up, lol…

long exposure time + flashlight ?

Where is this place?

Canadian/American side?

If someone was to scream really loud, would locals be able to hear it?

How far from the road is the face/cave?

Are there any signs around the cave which could help one get back to the road if they were unfamiliar with the territory?

http://www.niagarafrontier.com/schoellkopf.html

led light but yes…

1 - in the niagara gorge

2 - american

3 - yes

4 - 500 feet give or take

5 - you wont find the cave, you could be 3 feet from it and wont see the way in.

this is down IN the gorge, there is no easy way back to the road, and even if there was, you cant park anywhere near it due to the park being closed at dusk

You guys parked at the aquarium didnt you? wish I would have gone, but man did i really need my sleep, i think i had a few beers, passed out from lack of sleep and woke up around 1pm, so this definitely wouldn’t have worked out. but sweet pictures.

did you guys go through the whole plant, or what you could go through?

no you dont want to park there, your car probably wont be there in the AM

i’ve been through the whole thing many times, so no we didn’t wander around really
