spelunking Lehman's Cave

Deep under the mountain which supports Wheeler Peak, there are a whole series of caves made when limestone slowly dissolved underground.  The largest and most impressive (found so far!) is Lehman's Cave, which can be visited, and I did so.

the rather innocuous looking entrance
(there is also a "natural" entrance, still there, but not used for entry)

wow! the "Gothic room"

supercool!
