The Fortress

To my understand Mike "Predator" Carlton died in June 2004. Does anyone want to go down there and visit his plaque and shrine further up the drain in June for his 9th anniversary. I'm sure others know of a way in but I've gone in and exploring since I discovered a unlocked way in a few weeks ago...It would be nice to light a few candles and crack a glow stick down there for him. Write a few more words

There was an expo to The Fortress last week, although it did not honor the might Predator.

Predator was the founder of the Sydney branch of the Cave Clan. Anybody who met him undoubtedly knew how smart & talented he was. You wouldn't know it by looking at him that he was a PhD. He could go from talking about physics, to smoking pot, & then back to biochemistry, he certainly made me feel dumb, & everybody who met him loved the guy.
RIP Pred, 1971 - 2004.

Predator's blog is available for D/L here...
http://lucazoid.com/documents/Pred-txt.pdf

It chronicles his life from the day he was diagnosed with cancer to a few days before he passed away. It covers many subjects including urbex, but is mostly a diary of his last 6 months alive.
It is a very good read, very uplifting, although I don't suggest that you read it if you are a hypochondriac. There are also non-urbex subjects discussed.
If you can read his blog & not shed a tear, then you are a harder man than I am.

It also includes his world famous Pred.txt drain exploring opus which many explorers claim to be their bible.

This a cave clan expo? That the cave clan still does expos is news to me. I haven't been in an expo since October 2010.

I'm up for exploring fortress, never been there.
