Here is an excerpt from one of Dad’s emails about Valerie cave. ⠀
-⠀
“I’m not certain how many times we went in to Valerie but it was at least five times, I know we were in there on one of our first trips with clients, another time was with Randy Mitchel First Superintendent of Nahanni National Park and perhaps two more times and but our final trip with clients Valerie was locked up with a metal gate however the new first Chief Park Ranger, Lou Common didn’t know how to reach Valerie from the river and we guided him which got us into Valerie for the last time. To the best of my knowledge the cave remains closed other that a few research people. Valerie is south facing, another cave Mickey about 3 km deep and is the deepest cave north of 60˚ and more or less faces Valerie from across the So. Nahanni but it lacks the interesting features of Valerie.⠀

Photo Note from Dad: Still at the “water hole” guests, Elana, Lou Common, first Chief Ranger of Nahanni Nat. Park.⠀

Note from us: Elana, is our mom. Our parents have been divorced and happily re-married for a long, long time. But it is neat to see some old photos of when they went adventuring together. ⠀
