Being from illinois, there's not really any caves to go to around here. My girlfriend took a roadtip just for the Cave of the Mounds and we LOVED IT. The tour was a blast, the minerals were amazing, and I got some excellent photography done here! Makes me want to explore more caves around the US. A big thank you to all of the people who keep the Cave love going!
