So looks as though Virginia and Tennessee are known for a few things...Civil War, slavery, college football, and...CAVES! And lots of them! We ended up stopping by Endless Caverns 1) to use the RV facilities and 2) to explore the wonders of geological rock formations.
Me in Jail
The Cavern itself was discovered by the Zelker boys back in the late 1800's where they soon began candlelight tours of the cave they found while hunting for rabbits. The name derives from the 'endless' caverns underneath the mountain ranges which probably connects to all 100 of these cave tourist traps. Definitely a lot of fun...going down 200 ft below ground and turning off all the lights is pretty mind blowing.
I (Jerry) always imagined bats to be...bigger. These little guys were peppered throughout the caverns hibernating for the winter and hanging by their little feet. A few of them flew around the cave and wizzed by our heads.
