Sppppoooooky Cave...

... Not really, but it's close to Halloween, right? While in Hershey, we visited Indian Echo Caverns. A cool little cave with a very informative tour. The tour guide told us all about the history. Native American's used the cave for shelter and food storage back in the day. A hermit lived there for a while, but ended up dieing of over-exposure to smoke fumes. It was really neat.

The picture above is a cave pond.. crystal clear and completely still. Below, this just cracked us up, is graffiti! They're three sets of initials carved into a stalagmite. They haven't let anyone write on the cave rocks in over 100 years, so this is really old graffiti.. but what is so funny is that back in the day, they vandalized in Times New Roman.. with serifs and everything!
