You should visit Lewisburg, WV some time and the Lost World Caverns. Not as big or fancy as Luray but still impressive.

You bring so much joy to others. It's a special gift of yours. At the deep center of yourself there is, I believe, a wellspring of joy that bubbles up and slakes the thirst of so many of us who follow you in your travels with George. You are a blessing from and to the Universe. Peace.
