Since we had some time to spend before our New Years celebrations, we decided to head to West Liberty, Ohio and go underground. Ohio Caverns is known as the countries most colorful caverns and also reigns as the largest cavern system in Ohio.
The girls enjoyed this underground adventure much more than Olentangy Indian Caverns as there was much more room to move and the caverns were much more illuminated.
Kristy and Molly even interacted with the cavern by touching malagtites. This was the only part of the tour where you were allowed to actually touch anything.
This far underground the temperature remains the same year round, some where around 56 degrees. It was actually refreshing compared to the chilly Ohio air outside.
In the photo below Molly is standing in front of one the largest stalagtites in this cavern system.
Neleha is our little "Dora the explorer" as she was having the time of her life walking underground.
Molly was even able to use her charm to convince Ray to carry her though most of the caverns. I think she has him as wrapped around her finger as I am.
The claim regarding "colorful" was very accurate, although my photos do not do these scenes justice, the colors were most beautiful and abundant.
The Batchelder's of Ohio underground.
Climbing out of the caverns, this stairwell was very steep and very long.
