Caving Adventure

Nine students led by our resident archeologist, Bob Fetterolf, traveled 50 miles south of Pittsburgh to the Laurel Caverns, Pennsylvania's largest cave. The cavern itself is situated beneath a 435 acre geological park. Each cave explorer wore required dress: long pants, long sleeved shirt, heavy boots, and a hard hat. The group, using their own flashlights, spelunked through two miles of caves, through passages from 10 to 40 feet high and some very, very narrow ones.

A great learning experience and great fun , too!
