To enter the cave we went through a revolving door ... it's revolving because as the wind blows in or out of the cave, the door turns a generator that provides power for half of South Dakota. It's amazing what they are doing up here with clean energy. The trick is to get through the door with all limbs intact. So many people here have lost a limb entering the cave that the origin of the "one arm bandit" actually originated here because of struggling citizens injured by this revolving door. (Both Ronda and I made it through ok although I did get hit in the butt pretty hard.)
Ronda adds: if you believe this stuff Brent made up then you're pretty gullible.
The cave stays at an even 53 degrees, is very dry and there are no stalag--stuff.

We signed up for a spelunking tour, but had second thoughts about crawling on our bellies for four hours. Not to mention the fact that you had to fit in a space 24 inches by 8 1/2 inches. What were we thinking?

It sounds like you had quit the fight with that revolving door. Stalagmite-might touch the ceiling and Stalactites-are tight on the ceiling.(Isn't it weird that I remember the oddest things!)These are simply beautiful pictures!
Okay so you had me and some of the office girls really going. Revolving doors are amazing huh. And it powers half of South Dakota. right. Your excellent adventure sounds so fun.
Like Elaine, the pictures are beautiful. I love looking at your blog!
