This underground lake is actually only a little over a foot deep, but the reflections of the stalactites make it look much deeper (and cool too!).
"To the dolphin alone, nature has given that which the best philosophers seek: Friendship for no advantage. Though it has no need of help from any man, it is a genial friend to all and has helped mankind." ~ Plutarch

Luray Caverns
So, after almost six months in this area, I finally made it to Luray Caverns. It was amazing! I would highly recommend it.

Apparently, they named it Pluto's Ghost because Pluto was the Roman god of the underworld and it's a white rock formation (which stood out from the darker rock around it).
This organ literally plays the stalactites! Stalactites make sound when they are hit - they make different tones, depending on the size. The organ is connected to 37 different Stalactites with different tones. It played A Mighty Fortress is Our God. That was truly the highlight of the tour for me!
These were formed after two Stalacmites were broken off in the 1920s. They really did look like fried eggs (as you can see).
