Next stop, Grottoes, VA for the Grand Caverns (Cavern #1 on the trip route)
The guide was a bit cheesy, but the caverns were quite pleasant.

There really are amazing sights to see.

Just be sure to take a tri-pod, otherwise the shutter captures too much movement in the low light level... Real life, as un-still life. Apparently, graffiti has always been around...A road side view of Virginia during our travels toward Luray.

Now this is the labyrinth I was looking for -- 1 mile of maze within a 7 foot hedge!
This place really was so much fun...

Even with all it's dead ends, we found all 4 goals and our way out!

This is also the only time it rained on our trip -- good thing they provided umbrellas at the start!
Their slogan: "Get Lost!"

And here we are at Luray Caverns (cavern stop #2).

I didn't care for the irritating attitude of our guide here.

But the reflections in the water really were amazing. (Look again, it's above.)

Here are the famous fried eggs/oysters.

And we're off, again...
