Penn’s Cave

This past Sunday, Barbara and I travelled west from Bloomsburg to Centre Hall, Pennsylvania. We visited a cave known as Penn’s Cave. What makes this cave different from our previous cave adventures is that this cave is only accessible by boat. The entire cave floor is covered by three to five feet of water. The cave itself is approximately 1/2 mile long and contains a lot of the typical cave formations ie. stalactites, stalagmites, columns, cave bacon and cave drapery. Even though cave bacon contains no fat or cholesterol, it’s not as good as it sounds. It does work well for heartburn. We also saw what they called sharks teeth in the cave. They aren’t real sharks teeth, but they look kind of like them and appeared to have blood on them.

To the right is a formation they call the Lion.
