| no partners | | Our usual Maryland hotel used to have a rack of tourist brochures, and at some point I grabbed one for Luray Caverns, down in Virginia. It’s been a least five years since the brochure rack disappeared, but I somehow still had the brochure. So off we went.
It was a long drive from Maryland to the caverns, at least 90 minutes on packed I-81. By the time we got there, short attention span teenager in tow, we decided to just do the underground bits. I should have read more of the info signs, but I was trying to avoid path-blocking selfie takers, while looking for visually interesting perspectives and formations.
It was warm & humid outside; slightly cooler, but even more humid inside. The floor was often wet, but pebbled for grip. (Important on some steep sections.) I saw strollers. Not handicap accessible, but you might be able to do it with an e-wheelchair. There were so many people, I commented to my wife it was like an underground Dollywood.
Not enough bathrooms. Lines even for guys. While waiting, I managed to plow an entire large box of Nerds.
