Wind Cave National Park-Fairgrounds Tour

We try to tour as many caves as we can every time we are on vacation.  This is the third cave we have toured in South Dakota.  It was so much different than any other cave we have toured as it was full of "boxwork" (the background of the collage) as well as "crystals" (on the left of collage) and "popcorn" (on the upper right).   We took Destiny and Brendan along (their dad just will NOT tour a cave!!) and they really enjoyed it.  Brendan (5 yrs old) asked our tour guide at one point early on when we were going to see the POPCORN!!  Later on in the tour he raised his hand to ask yet another question ~ "I just don't get it....HOW did you make this place?"  The guide patiently answered his question in the easiest way possible and he was satisfied with the answer. 
When the tour was completed, we had climbed up/down over 400 steps.....and saw 0 bats - whew!!
