ah, yes, it very closely resembles a Psyduck (yes, I used to watch pokemon), I can almost see the hands on its head.
so yes, I can't not see it. :D
personally, the thing that gives the whole thing away as a hoax is that it just stops - fact is, he'd be VERY unlikely to get killed on the last trip. And as the site implies, his family read it too, if he HAD died, I'm sure they would have found a way to make an update (it's a subsite, so contact the owner) - just abruptly stopping makes it scarier but also makes it very suspicious.
That and the fact that his 'journal' is written very much more like a story, complete with descriptions - not how you expect to find a journal.
Lots of the piccies could have been made in any old cave or tight gorge. And the piccie "we took on a later trip" I don't remember reading about ANY situation where it COULD have been taken. Considering the meticulous detail of the rest of the account, and the only other person going in being Joe, I can't see why there's no mention of 'and I passed the camera throgh to Joe before going through myself"
Oh, and some technical innacuracies - several hours of use from a cordless drill battery from intensive, high torque, usage - the last one I used lasted 1/2 an hour going through MDF, and how did they recharge 4 batteries overnight in a motel room? did they get 4 chargers too?
