Dar,
  I see you have decided to come down into the trenches
with the serfs. lol. Are the bluefish caves on the east side or
south side of the glaciation line that prevented entry into the
central part of canada. I think we have had this conversation
before and the basic conclusion is that people reached the
region but later had to retreat.
