From the waters of the Great Lakes to the sacred land beneath our feet, we were reminded that this place has always carried meaning, memory, and spirit.

Thank you, Larry, for helping us listen, learn, and remember.

Thanks to everyone (more than 150 people) who attended one of GEO-DC's recent cave talks at NWTC in Sister Bay. Cave expert Gary Soule shed light on the peninsula's many sea caves, vadose (stream-formed) caves, and block-creep (fault-formed) caves. Backed by decades of experience and knowledge, Gary kept the crowds engaged with his tales of the underground.
