Ponzarelli:
Off we go on the Lantern Tour of Cave of the Winds in CO
Ponzarelli:
Light is good!
Ponzarelli:
Through a door where the lanterns are..
Ponzarelli:
Then through small dark places
Ponzarelli:
First you go down stairs...
Ponzarelli:
Notice to all Cave Goers, no vandalism: Do not touch anything
Ponzarelli:
The over a hundred year old shovel
Ponzarelli:
This guide we nick named "Right off the bat..." because he said that phrase every other sentence.
Ponzarelli:
Complete Darkness is weird. I had to flash my camera
Ponzarelli:
Then the guide requested we blow our lanterns out.
Ponzarelli:
Open spaces make me smile!
Ponzarelli:
More tight knit spots to squeeze through sideways
Ponzarelli:
Pristine pools of water
Ponzarelli:
It's so small
Ponzarelli:
Go in there?
Ponzarelli:
More ducking and people screaming "Rock is HARD" everytime they hit their heads (to warn us in the back of low rock)
Ponzarelli:
Uh... the space is getting smaller and we aren't big people...
Ponzarelli:
Follow you where?
Ponzarelli:
Here's where the tour reminded me of a scene from the original Willy Wonka
Ponzarelli:
Stalactites in the making!
Ponzarelli:
People have touched these... ugh
Ponzarelli:
Natural beauty
Ponzarelli:
Part of the last leg where there are lights and handrails
Ponzarelli:
Heading back..
Ponzarelli:
Formations are beautiful
Ponzarelli:
Hey, stop horsing around!
Ponzarelli:
