THE DAY OF THE CAVERN

Wednesday was a great day.  We got up when we wanted to, ate and then got ready to leave.  No rushing, no one shouting to hurry up; it was a joy!  So off we went toward Virginia, the state of the rolling hills.  And roll, they did!  Up and down; Up and down... So many truckers on the road and on the UP part everyone was slowing way downnnnn... then on the DOWN part, everyone was speeding up!! We stayed in the right hand lane and kept a normal 60mph speed.  We were headed to Endless Caverns RV park in New Market, VA.  Cute little town.  Looked like a town you would see on TV.  So really cute and all so perfect.  We finally came to the turn off and this is what we saw.

We had to check in, get the RV all set up etc. and then we headed back to the office to go see the Caves.  A little history of this cave:  2 boys were out playing and saw a rabbit.  They ran after the rabbit and it ran down a hole.  The kids looked in the hole and it wasn't one that was shallow.  The rabbit never came out and the boys forgot about the rabbit and started down the big hole in the ground.  They did finally get their dads and that is when it was all discovered; 1879.  It has changed  owners a few times but the state of Virginia regulates it. 
The people that bought it decided to put an RV park on top of it.  Pretty smart thinking! Some of the pictures I took:

  There are so many different types...

Okay so you get the picture ... The caves are gorgeous.  If you are ever in Virginia, please stop by and  see these beautiful caves.  Also, the RV resort had everything you could want.  I'd like to go back there and stay a week.  Lots of hiking trails, pool, fishing pond, showers and all kinds of other things.  I really enjoyed it. 

But...

Thursday is a new day... so this is the end of Wednesday... Hope you like the pictures!

IF I can get a particular picture to come up, I'll post it.  One of my favorite!

Isn't he adorable???   He came right up to me.. I thought he wanted me to kiss him!  I have only seen longhorns in Texas, so this was exciting for me.  He was right at the entrace of the property of the Caves.  I just really like him a lot!  Burl said I could not have him...  :(

Night All... More to come tomorrow...

I'll be in Massachusetts (home town) by tomorrow night... YAY!!!
