Macks Cave cntd.
As the water dripped from the roof of the cave, stalagmites of ice formed
It was a little wet and muddy.....
The cave was unoccupied except for a delirious wild man we had to shoo out of the way. He was harmless though.
We made it out alive and was able to set up a little timer portrait.
Of course after I told her I took a picture of her dairy-aire, she was none too happy.
Mom did get completely to the end of the cave, and even made sure to touch the absolute end.
A nice self-portrait deep inside the bowels of the underground......
This is the end of the cave, about 70 yards inside. It is not light inside, jsut a good camera flash.
This is about half way in
Inside the cave. It is a little muddy...

Macks Creek Cave
Just beyond Spring Shores, on the way to Arrowrock Dam, is Macks Creek campground/boat dock. I took the scouts there camping in January. As we were packing camp on Saturday morning, a couple of guys from the Army Corps of Engineers, [who oversee the campground] stopped by to make sure the campground was in good order. They as us if we had found the cave, then told us where it was.
I did not have the camera on the scout campout, but mom and I went there the other night and did a little exploring.
The cave is a lava tube that is normally under 80-90 feet of water. When the water is low like it is now, the cave appears. Pretty cool. The first picture is the opening of the cave.
