The morning came quickly, and after eating Laura's yummy waffles, we all loaded into Olsen's van and headed to Mammoth Cave.
We followed this path that lead to the entrance of this enormous cave. Mammoth Cave was created by lava, origianlly was a "lava tube." The lava carved out miles of the earth in a tube-like form, and now-- the lava gone, we are left with this amazing Cave to explore.
Apparently, the cave was used during the cold war. I can't image a better bomb shelter. It could easily house the Twin Falls population.
Of course since it is completely underground, we used lanterns to give us light for our little tour.
I was envious of the perfect cold room! You couldn't ask for a better place to store your food storage. I told Geoff that I want one of these under our house.
It was really very fun to see, and interesting to learn the history.
I wonder if Geoff can get a hold of a little hot lava--we could put a little underneath our lot in Hidden springs and let it carve out some caves until we're able to build. How cool would that be!
