Lana's Birthday: August 2004

For my birthday I decided I wanted to go to Inner Space Caverns. It is just north of us and we have driven past it a million times. So, we went and checked it out. It was actually very fun and interesting. The cave is named "Inner Space" because it was discovered during the big race to the moon in the 50's & 60's. The individuals that discovered it imagined this is what the moon would look like.

This room is called "Lake of the Moon". It was one of the more spectacular rooms. The water was so crystal clear that it looked only a few inches deep but, in reality it is over 25 feet deep!

This is called the "Soda Straw Balcony". Obviously it was named because this lookes like millions of straws hanging from the ceiling.

This called the "Scalloped Ceiling". Again, obviously named because it looks like scalloped potatoes.










This is called the "Flow Stone". It was formed by thousands of years of flowing water down the wall of the cave.

This formation is called banded drapery and has been nicknammed "Bacon Drapery" due to it's obvious resemblence to a slice of bacon.
