It was a hot and muggy day...but we discovered a whole new world below ground.On a whim Mom and Dad and my crew took off for Delaware, Ohio and the Olentangy Caverns on Labor Day. As we descended the steep stairs to the undergrou
nd world, we were met with wonderful, natural air conditioning. Caves are always 54 degrees no mater how cold or hot it is upstairs. We had a fun time exploring the various rooms, like Catherdral Hall-it had a really tall ceiling. 
Some of the rooms were very spacious and some of the passageways were a tight squeeze to get through. We learned about how the Indians used the cavern for protection from enemies and as a meeting place. We also found out that the caverns flooded 
3 times this June from a sink hole on the property. Pretty interesting stuff.

homemade ice cream and it turned out be a great little adventure.
