Adventure in Blue Springs Caverns/ Could We live Underground?




 Welcome! Come take a trip down into Blue Springs Caverns with us! This was a trip we took with our Cub Scout Pack this year. Not only was it a chance to have a great new experience, it was also an opportunity to evaluate how well we would do if we were forced to live underground.

 The water in the cavern was crystal clear! So amazing to see such clean water!!!


 We took a short boat trip through the cavern. 

 A tasty morsel, but he would not make much of a meal if you were relying on what you catch down there to feed yourself, much less your family! 
If you look very closely at the photos you may spot a crayfish! 









Ceilings carved by underground streams.









 I think we'll name him 'Dinner'!!!




 This part of the caverns is only visited by staff. They have to lay down on the boat to glide through!

















 All the guys getting ready to go Wild Caving!

The ceiling is so smooth because the rock you are standing on broke off smoothly when it fell... Now, sleep peacefully wondering when the next will fall!
 Army style bunk beds! It was a rough night!!!

My favorite Webelo!

 This was an amazing adventure for a ten-year-old boy and a great way to experience sleeping in an unusual setting. Staff were knowledgeable and polite. I would recommend this trip for every youth group!
