Dustin's Mom, Aunt Rosalie, and cousin Tara came to visit this past week. We drove down to visit the Lewis and Clark Caverns near Whitehall, MT. The State Park offers guided tours of the caverns. It's pretty amazing. You take a short hike uphill in the beginning to the entrance and then travel down, down, down, throught the caverns. There were long eared bats sleeping inside which was super cool but we couldn't take their pictures as they were sleeping and we didn't want to disturb them! Sleeping bats are one thing- flying bats, I don't think so. The coolest part for me was when our guide killed the lights and showed us how the tours used to be guided -by candlelight. It was very creepy. She also cut out all the lights and allowed us to get a little nervous in the COMPLETE darkness. You could not see anything. She told a story of someone being stuck in the caverns for 3 days with no light. I could not imagine! But then she flicked the switch and all was bright again! There is a reason I was born in this day and age! We would defintely recommend this to anyone visiting Montana.
