Trip to Forbidden Caverns

Instead of just lying around the cabin all day, we try to find an attraction nearby that isn't too touristy or costly. We choose the Forbidden Caverns. It was very interesing. This maze of caverns is privately owned. The temperature is 58 degrees all year long. There is a river running through the caverns. Very clean water, no weeds, fish or anything.











The caverns are made of limestone and I guess a by-product of that is onyx. There is the largest amount of white onyx found in a cave.










In the early 1920s until 1943, the cavern was used to make moonshine.










And the caverns are the sleeping place for very, very small bats.









It was very, very cool.
