Vacation '09...Lewis & Clark Caverns

After driving over 600 miles our first day
we spent our first night at The Warbonnett Hotel in Butte
and got up the next morning and drove
to the Lewis & Clark Caverns State Park

Our tour guide took us on
a long hike up to
the entrance to the caverns


Once inside we had to speak
quietly so as not to disturb the bats

The further down we go the colder
it gets. The bats don't like the cold
thankfully

The kids and I were goofing around so much I don't even think I heard from
our tour guide what the heck these
formations are made of

Going deeper and deeper into middle earth
I hope we don't run into Gollum down here

The size of these things was amazing

It was very chilly and damp

No flash on this one
Pretty cool

Some parting wisdom from
a fellow cave dweller!
