"California Underground Adventure: A Guide to Caves, Mines and Lava
Tubes." Jon Kramer and Julie Martinez. Adventure Publications,
Cambridge, Minnesota; 2009. ISBN 978-1-59193-230-7. 6 by 9 inches, 184
pages, softbound. $16.95.
A travelers' guide to various sites in California, including show
caves, old mine museums and tours, a few wild limestone caves and lava
tubes with self-guided tours, and even a sea cave. Some of the thirty
sites barely quality as underground. All have a full-page color
photograph and several smaller ones. The pictures are well printed,
but mostly uninspiring, and a lot of them are not good advertisements
for the attractions. The text is written for adults, to judge by the
advice about taking children, but the chatty style may grate on
anybody over the age of 12.
One feature that sounds like it would be fun to visit is a pair of
natural bridges on a creek near Angels Camp. Otherwise, nothing of
much caver interest.--Bill Mixon
