I found this article on Karsts, I remember talking with Al and Garnet Margetish and they told me when they were younger and were staying in Caycuse camp they went up to C5 and entered the Karsts there, the are on the left side of the road most likely hidden by the new 3rd growth.
Also when FRBC was active in Gordon River they were dye testing the Karsts to see if they were inter connected by flow channels. The TR4 area was logged prior to the testing as well was C3(not positive it is called C3), the first spur to the left off Caycuse ML before C4.

Nitnat Caves (Looper Creek Canyon)

Exploring in the Nitnat area we were told of some hidden caves to check out. The access is off a logging road, but you could drive down it every day and never know anything was down there. There is a small bridge where I've dropped the pin, which just looks like a small ditch crossing. Look a...
