The Spelunking O's

Today we went to Wind Cave National Park. While we were there we went on a tour of the cave system. It was Called a complex maze cave, that means that there are multiple levels and that there are many different paths that you can take. We went on the Fairground tour. We saw boxwork (photo) it is one of the only caves that has boxwork in it. We also saw sandstone our guide told us that the sandstone keeps out the water. Close to the end of the tour we sat down and our guide turned all lights off to show us what it was like in the caves before they had lighting. The whole caves went completely pitch black you couldn't even see your hand right in front of your face! I thought that the cave were amazing. It was cool to see what happened as the lights evolved over time. I also liked it because there were so manny cool places that you could go explore.
