I published this article a long time ago, but recently scanned it for another bit. Back in the day, Don McFarlane, his son Stuart, and I went off to find, explore, and map the caves of the Chiriqui Province in Panama. There was almost no information on caves in this area, but we took what we had, added info from geological maps, and had at it.
Almost all of the caves were found by talking to locals. We mapped the caves and assessed them for scientific interest. Cueva Porton, at the time, became the longest surveyed cave in Panama at 707 meters of passage.
The report and maps are now available. Published first by Nittany Grrotto,:
