Grew up in an area with a lot of big tourism attraction caves/caverns; they were good choices for entertaining out of state visitors, so have been in quite a few. They're great.

I grew up in a tourist town also, Sarasota Florida, we used to have a lot of fun sending them out into the middle of no where when when they asked for directions,  Honestly what do you expect when you ask middle school kids    :green:

Never there, but looks cool.  :thumbup:

Upstate NY used to be full of strange stuff and tourist towns.
