MORE Caves!

http://www.wyandottecaves.com/

My mom, niece and I went to the Wyandotte Caves today. Very cool. This set of caves was entirely walked, instead of being on the boat nearly the whole time like a few weeks ago.

There are a few hundred stairs (if not more, I didn't count) in there. And it was COLD. There are two caves in this tour, the first was short and kind of lame. But it just whets your appetite for the BIG cave tour. It took a good hour and a half at least. Lots of ups. Lots of downs. Slippery rocks. Low ceilings. A lot of fun.

And BATS. They're really kind of cute. And much smaller than expected as well. I wonder how they taste?

They also have "crawl tours" where you go caving for real. With the miner's hat and lots of tight squeezes. That sounds awesome. But I'd have to go with the guys for that sort of thing. And I really doubt we could get a large group to coordinate days off for a trip like that. Bummer. Oh well.

Still a fun day. Too bad the cameras don't work down there well at all. Lots of great sights to see.

Caves Are Cool...

Literally! It was rather chilly in THIS place on Sunday...

My mom, my niece Samantha and I went to this place in Bedford, Indiana this past Sunday. Time well spent. We went underground into this cave some 200 feet below the surface and then got into a boat for an underground river tour.

I only saw blind crayfish, my mom saw a bat. I got a little claustrophobic when our guide told us how far underground we were. Strange how things don't bother you until you FIND OUT!

But it was eerie and fascinating at the same time. And our guide told us that it was the most boring cave in the area. So if we go to another cave, it should be better. And we have tentative plans to go to another one this coming up Sunday too.
