| After a bit of a drive...Cascade Caverns Park - Bathroom Break! E-GAD!! The filthiest I've been to since a five day concert! (and it goes downhill from there!) | You come in here and you start feeling the Tourist Trap! Take the money but don't improve your cave... sigh... | Too late...the people that own the cave already ruined the cave... no need to post a warning. |

| It does have some nice stuff | But is very ill kept! The wires are all exposed with no attempt to hide them from the tours. | And the lights are kept on all the time. Thus... pretty lush plant life grows. |

| The guide even bragged that this was the only cave that had such extravagant growth (I hope so!!!!) | Oh...and look...the same band of lights I use on my house during Christmas!!! Every cave should have some of these! | Oh yeah... don't forget the two inch flexible pipe that snakes under your feet the entire trail! |

| Pumping from one end of the cave to the other it was right smack in the middle more than half the time... I guess they are unique in that too! | And there were only about 40! people on our tour... there were times they all couldn't fit into the room where the guide was talking. | One Picture....many words (kinda like.. Oh Lord...what did we get ourselves into??) |

| Look out where you step Lil... Watch your head Jon, you're not wearing a helmet! | But it was a wet cave!! Lots of water dripping and being pumped out onto the trail. | One neat thing about the cave was the ceiling! |

| Very cool water patterns created when the cave was being created. | And then the advertised 100 foot waterfall..nice, but the one place where light would have been nice it was absent.... sigh... | I agree with you John... Let's get out of here!! |
