The best part was seeing Sage and how much she was enjoying it. I’ve watched you for 4(?) years or so and I’m always so impressed with how God has blessed and grown her.
Nice that you could take Skippy (your dog) with you. So many places don't allow pets. Also, LOVE that Sage got to see this!! It's something she will remember her whole life. These are the kinds of things children should be doing in school.
Love this! Watching Sage enjoy this was so precious. It also took me back to the dark ages when I was a kid. I wasn't much younger than Sage the first time I went "spelunking" (actually a cave tour) in the Oregon Caves and I have never forgotten that experience. Back then we toured on foot without any protective rails or steps and some pretty slippery and gravely stuff under our feet but I still thought it was awesome. Keep making memories and God bless.
I've been to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico, and it was awesome. It is much, much bigger than a cave, so anyone who is claustrophobic will be fine. Wear a jacket or sweater because it will be chilly.
We lived in Carlsbad for 5 1/2 years! And two weeks before having our 4th baby I walked to the bottom even! I really want to see the cave John & Mercedes (and Sage) went to!
Living in local area, We have been blessed 2x to see this. The first time with our kids and their class, and the second with our grand children. So glad Sage enjoyed it, she is so smart . God bless you all and your travels.😊❤
I can't thank you enough for sharing this video. Eight years ago my husband took this tour, but my claustrophobia just wouldn't allow it. I have always wondered what it was like. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Your photography was "fantastic"!! Thanks, again! If you get near Branson, check out, Top of the Rock golf cart ride and Dogwood Canyon tram tour! Two of our favorite things to do in that area.
We found out that we loved caves on our first tour years ago, and we have been to many throughout this great country, but not this one! Thank you for taking us along! Just splendid!
I love caves. Thanks for sharing. We have gone to Ruby Falls in Tennessee, a Walking tour cave, Indian Caverns in PA also a walking tour, then Penns Cave in PA by boat. They are all unique but similarities. This was so cool getting to ride through it.
What an amazing tour!! Sage is so blessed to be able to experience life and God's wonders outside the classroom. Thanks for sharing your incredible experience. ❤🙏
Good to see y'all back on the road again. I've been binge catching up. Beautiful cave and these adventures will be more fun and memorable with Sage a little older. Hope all is well back at the homestead. Take Care and still love them chickens.
Absolutely loved this video! Since I was a child, I’ve always liked touring caves…of course, Carlsbad Caverns is the King of King’s caves, but these here are so amazing. It’s incredible just how long it takes the mineralized water to form the stalactites and stalagmites. That would be a wonderful experience for those who can’t tolerate walking down and up and out of caves…you get to ride a “tram” them! Excellent you guys, and many thanks! Love ya all, Virginia
Wow. I watched the whole video. Generally, for the longer videos, I simply listen to the audio while I do other stuff, and only catch a portion of the visual. This was captivating. I have been in abandoned Silver and Coal mines, which were made safe for tourists. Perhaps someday I can get back to the middle of the country and see the Fantastic Caverns. Thanks for the video. Here's an idea, buy more equipment so you can give us a VR tour 🙂
You have some incredible places to visit right in your area. Buck's Pocket, Sequoia Caverns in Valley Head (closed DANG), DeSoto Falls, Little River Canyon, Collinsville Trade Day, Noccalula Falls in Gadsden, Nasa Space Center in Huntsville and Ava Maria Grotto/Little Jerusalem in Cullman. Those are a few that my tired brain can think of tonight. Sending love from Jacksonville, Alabama! ❤
First time viewers. Enjoyed several of your videos so yes, we subscribed. We’ll probably bing watch your older videos to get caught up. We are relatively new to RVing…retired last year (auto mechanic). Bought a 2004 Country Coach DP and are doing the snow bird thing. Home base is in New Jersey. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
We were there the last week of March 23. We really enjoyed it. 50 years ago I was with my future father in law and we made a delivery to a cold storage cave just outside of Kansas City Mo. Missouri has a lot of limestone caves which makes it great for cold storage facilities.
This was Epic❤ taking your family and all of us on this journey that the Lord our God provided for us. The earth is fragile. We are blessed he gave us this planet to live and care for.
When I was a kid, my grandparents and I went out for a drive. I dragged them to about every cave across Missouri Like John, I want to live in one to this day.
Other cool caves to check out in Missouri are: Meramec Caverns in Sullivan Mo, Onondaga Cave (State Park) near Leasburg Mo, and a special treat, Tom Sawyer's Cave (Mark Train's Cave) in Hannibal Mo. You aught to at least check them out on the interweb, you might find yourself adding them to a trip next time you head north(ish).
This was really spectacular and you need to go see Carlsbad Caverns national Park in New Mexico. It is just an unbelievable site to behold. And John, you are right you have to see it to really appreciate it in real life.
That was pretty amazing. I’m glad you said it was claustrophobic proof. 👍🏻 I don’t think I could do it. Thanks for the video. I can check that off my bucket list 😃 ❤
Wow! That was amazing, thanks for sharing! Going to Lehman Caves in Great Basin National Park, NV in July but it's no comparison to this. Definitely putting this place on my bucket list!
How old is it? VERY VERY old😂. My favorite part is knowing Sage could be so inspired by anything she saw under there. So many incredible historic figures started with passion from childhood. I'm so happy for you🎉
Very cool cave. I you want to visit another totally awesome cave checkout Cathedral Caverns between Ider and Huntsville. I see commercials are coming back to your videos...woohoo!
what was it that Sage said that was the big deal. I've replayed but can't make it out. It's good to see you all out adventuring again.....Happy Trails and Safe Travels...
I’ll have to go through twice to separately take Princess and CiCi. The world doesn’t way to see me take them out together. 🤣😂 Another beautiful video!
We went there our very first trip bringing our RV from Ohio home to California. We had just joined Harvest Hosts and we're thrilled to find such a unique experience!
Mercedes would like Carlsbad Caverns NM. It's not a cave , it's a cavern. High ceilings in most of it. Sage could watch bats at the bat cave . They exit nightly at sunset .
wow great driver going around all those curves , im assuming that the small truck is electric , if others they should not be putting fumes out in that cave system .
Better than Disney ! The wow reactions of your kid remind me of the serial joy experienced by the girl in Less Junk More Journey channel when she sees new wonders of creation for the first time. How does this rate for fun factor ( geology aside ) with the Carlsbad Caverns, NM ? If you haven't been, make a mental note : walk down inside from the big open mouth entrance, the same ones bats come out of at near dusk. The walk is exciting. You get a lift back up to the visitor centre. The Rangers can accurately predict when the bats come out of the cave - its like a scene from From Dusk Till Dawn ! You view it from theatre seating after a bat talk. Its good this mechanised tour of Fantastic is so easy for all but especially for low mobility people.
What? They didn't let you drive the RV through? I wanted to see Mercedes backing you out of a tight spot. 😂. Tennessee has lots of caves and they're close enough to Ider for a short trip.
You need to come to TN and visit the Lost Sea in Sweetwater. We have full hookup and are only 20 mins away from Sweetwater (about 3 hrs from Thunder Canyon).
The caves we have in N.Z is nothing compared to the one you were just in. If it has water in it like yours we call it a waitomo cave as in Why-Toe-Mow caves. (Wai) means water, (Tomo) means cave. In our ones, we have both stallactites, stallacmites and colomns when both stallactites and stallacmites joins together. Oh i thought you were in a boat, my bad.
