We went to the longest cave in Wisconsin. It was found by two boys, William and George Vanesse. They were brave, for they grabbed a lantern and traveled deep into the water-filled cave. Of course, when I was there, there were lights everywhere. But they only had one measly little lantern!
The first thing we saw was a crystal in the wall. He told us the dripping liquid on the ceiling was calcium carbonite. He (our tour guide) told us a legend about this odd pillar in the cave, and if you walked around it once, you'd get good luck for two days. If you walked around it twice, you'd get bad luck for four days. But I don't think a fever is good luck. :-) I had a fever because I got a bug bite. We had to go to Urgent Care and I'm still on antibiotics!
My favorite part was the end with some cool, ancient animal fossils! I mean, isn't that just awesome?! There was a curly shell-like fossil and a long, jellyfish-like fossil, along with two more.
Well, thanks for reading and stay tuned for more blogs with Erin!
