| Had a double tour today of Natural Bridge Caverns. | The Natural Bridge is about collapsed into nothing! | Tour 1 was their newest cave - Found by drilling. This is the way they got into it! |

| Fortunately they now had easy walkways into the cave. | This cave is a closed climate and it is still growing and active. | Closed climate means like airlocks to prevent the climate from coming in. NO bats, no wildlife (maybe a cricket or two) |

| Another Borehole - sealed at the surface. | Some very long Soda Straws!! 4 1/2 feet long! | Left the new cave system and took the old tour. Here is the way the first people went in. No thank you!! |

| Both caves were 80 degrees with 98% humidity! You were sweating halfway though the tour! | But the high humidity is what is needed to keep these formations alive and growing. | Though they only grow one cubic inch per 100 years... don't break one!! $15 to 30 thousand fine!! |

| A very large Collumn!! Basically 5 stories high! | Called The Watchtower | Climbing back out toward the exit. Steep and I was definately panting (and did I say Sweating!!) |
