The Black Chasm Caverns were beautiful! They just opened up in the year 2000 for tourists. Emma and Noah loved being in the cold spooky cave. Noah called it "Scary Fun!" They like to pretend they are like Dora and Diego exploring so this was right up their alley. We had to go down hundreds of stairs to reach the bottom and cross a bridge over another 200 foot drop down to a river. When we had just made it to the very bottom of the tour, Noah decided that he had to pee and he had to go bad! The tour guide had just stressed the importance of not touching any of the formations or walls with our bodies because the oil in our bodies would stop the growth of the cave. So, I figured that pee might stop the growth as well. I grabbed Noah and ran up the stairs as fast as I could. Thank heavens the cave was a constant 57 degrees, because when I made it to the top I was sweating! We just made it out of the gated entrance when Noah exploded! Whew, what a workout!
