Day 2:New York City - Laurie cave -
Summary of the Day:
Depart from NYC and head to Virginia State, our first sightseeing at this journey is the most stunning and largest cave of the east coast, the Luray Caverns, which is a National Natural Landmark of the United States. The underground cavern system is generously adorned with speleothems (columns, mud flows, stalactites, stalagmites, flowstone, mirrored pools, etc.) The path that goes through Luray Caverns starts at the entrance. Next it curves throughout the caverns and there is a spring of water called Dream Lake. Stalactites are reflected in the water making them appear to be Stalagmites. This illusion is often so convincing that people are unable to see the real bottom. The caverns are perhaps best known for the Great Stalacpipe Organ, a lithopone made from solenoid fired strikers that tap stalactites of various sizes to produce tones similar to those of xylophones, tuning forks, or bells. (If the Luray Cavern is closed, we will go to Shenandoah Cavern instead.)
