One day in the cave

We both went to see beautiful mineral formation of Meramec Caverns under the hills of Meramec Valley.
What we were told is that Meramec Caverns is the largest commercial cave in the state of Missouri and that Missouri is also known as the Cave state with more than 6,000 surveyed caves. … Unfortunately I don't know anything about other states, maybe there're much more bigger and interesting caves as well. Have to explore!!! We had a great guided tour.
We really enjoyed the tour with history, jokes and underground illumination. The formation of caves, fossils and stalactites started millions ago… But what people know now is that it was used during great escapes after train and bank robberies, many of the local tribes used the cave as shelter, ballroom dances, Great Depression, the Hollywood movies and the list goes on...

I totally enjoyed the trip! Driving, something totally new I've never seen before, guided tour, something very ancient and natural and a very special person by your side… Looks like can be treated as my weakness :)
