Lurray Caverns

It was time for us to get a break from the DC Metro area, so we packed a picnic and drove toward the Shenandoah Mountains. We drove over the ridge and unexpectedly came upon Luray Caverns, which is evidently the largest caverns in Eastern America, so we had to stop. I wish you could see this with your own eyes because this picture doesn't give it justice. What you see is actually a reflection on a shallow pool of water. When you come upon it, you really think that you are looking into a deep cavern of pillars...amazing.

Even more amazing is the Great Stalacpipe Organ that was built in the mid 1900's...that's right the notes are actually played off of the stalactites and were tuned by sawing them to certain lengths. It was a very beautiful sound.
