Cave @ MindSay

Okay the last of the Mammoth Cave collection at least until we get to go again.


You just gotta be cheesy at the gift shops.


We had to walk through this mini monsoon down the hill, then some steps and even more so down the hill till we finally came to the entrance for the Historical tour. Needless to say we were soaked. I laughed the whole time.




A view of the salt petre mining excavation and artifacts that dated back to the civil war.

This final picture is a drawing I made tonight while I was busy on a caffeine buzz. It's just a "clippit" of the drawing because it could be considered "adult themed" because there was nudity. For those with a DA account can see the full picture here if you so wish.

Sometimes instead of being motivated I just have to force myself to do something. Today feels like one of those days. I've brought the loads of laundry up and folded the towels now to tackle the pile on my bed for putting away. *sigh*

Whilst I do that you can enjoy some more pictures. YAY!

Just watched a Discovery Channel show on caves.  There was a cave with a mound of bat dropping (guano) 300 feet high - crawling with fresh eating cockroaches.

Hope no one is eating now.

My friend Crystal (yeah, funny huh) sent me this article on this breathtakingly beautiful crystal cave found near Chihuahua City,  Mexico. This place looks like heaven, but inside this deceptively tranquil cave of Selenite / Gypsum crystals it is a blistering 150 degrees Farenheit with 100% humidity!  I actually have a rather large Selenite crystal that I forgot to take a picture of when I showcased my collection. Selenite is a soft mineral with a Moh scale hardness of about three or four which means you can scratch it with a nail.
