replying to @ArchesNPS @ArchesNPS A2. Darkest place I've been was on a cave tour--Wind Cave, I think--when the guide turned off the lights to show us complete darkness. 30 seconds was about all I could take. #parkchat

replying to @MattsRoadTrip @MattsRoadTrip @ArchesNPS @GreatBasinNPS Well yeah. I've been in more than a few, remember? Though most of them are "polite" enough not to turn off the lights! #ParkChat

replying to @e_terren @e_terren Kind of unnerving? Did the ranger show you the room by candlelight? Can't imagine those early cave explorers using just a candle! #ParkChat
