Hey have you been to any natural caves (not mines nor man-made underground)? If so, where? What is/are your favorite cave(s)?

I have been to almost all caves in South Dakota (in BlackHill area) and one in Missouri (can't remember the name, but it has something to do with Jesse James's hiding place). I don't have any favorite caves yet, because I love them all! My family and I are going into caves again this weekend. :mrgreen:
 
Yes, I went huge cave in Carlsbad, New Mexico 10 years ago. Whoa very huge and pretty cold inside.

Done went another cave near Austin, Texas. Pretty cold and show something so strange like fossil there.

First time, I went tiny cave (non-tourist service) somewhere in Austin, TX. But not safe cuz of some bats inside. My friend and I went inside. i see my friend's breath like white and very coldy. then come back so quickly.

Like to come inside the cave during summer. Whoa feel chill. My fave cave is Carlsbad, NM.
 
ive been in caves but dont remmy much abt them -- i was a kid around 5 or so thereabouts and i dont remmy WHERE they were located when i was with my family on the USA road trip camping and etc

Yeah, been to one at the Buchan Caves, out past Lakes Entrance in the Gippsland area of Victoria, Australia. Very LOVELY!! I went into the Fairy Caves, there were 3 of them. Fairy Caves was the shortest -- 1 hour underground tour. As I am sort of claustophobic of closed areas...so I braved the caves. *gulps* Gorgeous, yes, but I got scared crapless when the lights went out and it was pitch dark and I couldn't even see my HANDS in front of my face...*shuddering*
Fairy Cave was discovered by Frank Moon in 1907 and opened to the public later that same year.
Anyway, the Fairy and Royal Caves have those staglicimites (spelling, crap!) and stalicites...fascinating and beautiful! I took some photos...will try to find them and scan some and put them up here. :)
For the time being, here's a link to some pictures I've found on the web.... http://nla.gov.au/nla.pic-an22966287

I went to Crystal Cave in Kutztown, PA. It is very beautiful colorful reflect. It is very cold inside. I feel like that I visit Superman's crystal cave home. :D

My family and I went to Jewel Cave in South Dakota last Saturday, and it was a blast! This time we had an interpreter with us and it was very very helpful! WHOO! We learned quite more than before because of the interpreter. We enjoyed the cave way more than before... because we understood most things the guide said. :thumb: One time, the interpreter said that the light will go completely off, and I expected it to happen anyway because I have been there twice before (without an interpreter) and when it happened, my baby boy cried hard! (I had my hands on him to make sure that he's okay, but nope.) He bawled and bawled loudly... the light only went off short time. My oldest son was like "COOL!!" :lol: Good boy. (My baby boy was sitting in the backpack style carrier, which my husband's wearing. Poor my husband for carry that heavy son of ours. Heh.) My oldest son walked all the way from the beginning to the end. Wow, he did well!! :thumb:
