Indiana Wandering - Marengo Cave
Marengo Cave was a fascinating side trip that I’d highly recommend. Very well run. The tour went off without a hitch on their part. My flash batteries went dead as soon as I walked into the cave, but that of course wasn’t their fault.
There is an amazingly beautiful reflecting pool when you first walk into the cave. It looks bottomless, and you’ll never believe how deep it is. Photo three is my poor attempt at showing it’s depth.

Absolutely beautiful! And how deep is it? 2″ or 200 feet?
Now will you slow down, I’m trying to catch up on a whole week of posting here!
I really have to tell you, I have really enjoyed all of your posts for this week, thank you!

The pool looks very deep, all kinds of interesting shapes are visible. The host host carries on for a moment about how deep it is, then he shines a flashlight directly on the water… about three inches. Everything you’re seeing is a reflection of the ceiling.

It’s amazing just how deceptive they can be. I know many years ago I went to the Meramec Caverns in Missouri and the same was true.

And of course, I’ve been to Marengo hundreds upon hundreds of times, though I don’t do caves.
