A Light in the Darkness by EllBee
Luray, Virginia
Finds: 4
Our first letterbox away from home.
Luray Caverns is absolutely amazing! I could probably come back every year, and never get bored with seeing these amazing geological phenomena. We are on our way to a weekend at the Homestead Resort in Hot Springs, Virginia, and took a detour on the way to see the carverns. Benjamin rode on my back in the backpack and William walked/was carried for the 1 hour tour. Again, it is absolutely amazing!!! It makes you wonder how many more caves like this there might be that have yet to be discovered!
The stalactite organ was incredible - to think that music can be made with stactites. It was amazing. And the crystal lake was sooooo clear. You couldn't even tell that it was water. It looked exactly like you were looking down at stalagmites growing up. I could have explored for another hour down there and still been in awe.
After the tour, we took a little break down by the bus parking lot and had some snacks and drinks. A great cover-up for my clandestine operation. The box was easily found and stamped in. I'm having a hard time trying to determine what exactly it is a picture of though. Maybe stactites and stalagmites. Regardless, we were very pleased with our find.
