So, what sound do your feet make when exploring a cave? Spelunk - spelunk - spelunk...

That looks a lot like the Cave of the Winds in Colorado Springs. I need to go there again. It's been a long time. Is that a natural cave or is a mine that ran into a cave? Whatever it is, it's beautiful!

The cave is called Indian Echo Cavern. It is about 3 miles west of Hersey P.A.
It is a natural cavern that was formed by two underground rivers that converged on the same spot. The local Indians used it for food storage and when the weather was real bad. It stays a constant 52 degrees. At the deepest point that the guide took us we were about 190 ft below the surface. On of the photos shows a masonic square and compass, it is hard to make out it was painted by one of the first explorers to go deep into the cave in the 1800's. The Indians never went more then 50 ft into it for fear of evil spirits. Also at one time a hermit lived in it for a few years in the late 1800s. That is a very interesting story in its own.
