| 25th September 2009 Dymphna | - From: Lewis and Clark Caverns The lights they are adding are not as hot as the ones they are using now. They are in a string and smaller. It has to be better than the torches they used in the past to go through the caves. This cave has been explored for better than 100 years now. They have pictures of women in long dresses making a day of it to go down in there. There are portions of the old stairs which was little more than a rope ladder, that they would climb to see the caves. I can't imagine trying to do that in a skirt and I pitty the man who tried to look up my skirt as I was climbing it LOL. |
| 11th September 2009 dragonlady | lights in caves - From: Lewis and Clark Caverns I haven't heard of these caves but they sound good. I love to see formations in different caves, they are all so unique and every cave we go into has some type I have never seen before, either colour or shape. We have some lovely ones in Australia, including Jenolan Caves in New South Wales and Buchan Caves, in Victoria. Re the lights in caves, they have to be careful with using too much light as the heat affects the climate in the cave and can dry out active formations and alter conditions for insects and algae etc. That's why they always turn off the lights as you exit each cavern. I've often wondered if our flashlights are having any effect, too. |
