Grand Canyon Caverns

We had the most amazing few days.  Wednesday evening I (Vicki) picked up Brian from work and we headed to Laughlin. 

Thursday we left early and headed down Route 66 to the Grand Canyon Caverns.  We stopped in Hackberry, which is quaint and fun, to take some pictures. 

We were supposed to be there at 11:00 - in true Wuerfel fashion - we arrived 45 minutes early.  So we putzed around the gift shop and the oddities strewn throughout the property. 

When Stephanie, our guide, was ready it was show time.  We donned Dickie jumpsuits, knee pads, helmets with lights and put gloves in our pockets.  Because we had never been there before we did the entire tour AND the behind the scenes.  

We were able to climb way back in the cave and up some holes - places where most folks don't go.  At one point we were way far back Stephanie had us turn off our lights.  It was total darkness, then after about three minutes our eyes started adjusting and we could see shadows.  The silence was eerie.  Since it is a dry cave there are no critters or sounds. 

There were five spots where we had the opportunity to go behind the scenes.  We did all but the last one - we were pooped and quite frankly, my legs were a little shaky.

Yep, that is Vicki and Brian in the background, look for the headlamp - the opening is really small and we did hit our heads, our knees, our elbows more than once!!

Not sure if I am more amazed at the beauty and ingenuity of God or the fact that my knees bent so easily are so strong.   Both are gifts from above.

We had so much fun.  God is so good!!
